Every
writer needs an editor. No exceptions! But there are several
kinds of editors. Do you know what they do?
Developmental
editors help you plan and organize your material in
a logical, convincing manner. What is your message? How can
you break it down into its component parts? What do you need
to know, and where can you find that information?
Content
editors look at the big picture, writing style, structure,
flow of ideas, language, and accuracy. Is the "voice" consistent? Did you cover everything you needed to cover,
or is your manuscript suffering from overkill? Are you facts
correct? Is the book coherent?
Copy editors check for grammar,
punctuation, and typos. They catch mistakes you and everyone
else have missed. Do you have agreement in tenses and between
nouns and pronouns? Are you hooked on semicolons? Are you
careless with your sentence structure?
Wherever you are in your book-writing process - at the beginning
or the end - you need an editor ... perhaps more than one.
