Whether youâre preparing to submit your manuscript to agents and editors or finalize it for self-publishing, there are several distinct types of editing and itâs important to understand the difference. The four main types are developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading.
As a strong (and biased) believer that every author needs an editor, your first line of literary defense shouldnât be a professional editor. Rather, you need to learn how to self-edit before sending your manuscript off to be edited. As a full-time editor, I witness dozens of simple mistakes authors constantly make. If only theyâd take the time to learn and incorporate better self-editing techniques, they would become better writers, endear themselves to their editors, and maybe even save money on a professional edit. Furthermore, beta readers and early reviewers will be grateful for the creation of a readable early draft.
