Developmental Editing
A Deep Dive into the Manuscript
Stage 2: Developmental Editing
Once your story is decided and you're happy with your draft, it's time for some development work. Developmental editing is where the author and editor work together to improve the individual components of the story. This is a deep dive into the manuscript that goes line by line through the story to make each section as strong as it can be.
Through detailed feedback and ongoing discussion, the developmental edit will address everything from character development to preparing for future titles. This is the final step towards completing the storyline and can lead to text changes.
