Not every editor looks at your manuscript with the same eye. If she is a line editor, she is deep into the process already and expects tidy storylines, fully-developed characters, and tight dialogue. But a developmental editor has her watercolor pens out, ready to paint broad strokes that help you define the direction of your work in progress. Copyeditors fall somewhere in between.
So, how do you approach editing a manuscript independently? How do you know when it's ready for an editor? And what kind of editor?
This webinar will discuss the different editing stages and a few simple ways to prepare your work for an editor.
