The Editorial Stages
Friday August 16, 2024 5:00pm - 5:50pm MDT

In this session I will be discussing the different kinds of editing a book goes through before publication. There are four main stages: Developmental (Structural) Editing, Stylistic (Line) Editing, Copy Editing, and Proofreading. I will explain each stage in detail, helping authors understand when to hire editors, what to look for in an editor, and what to expect from their editor(s). The objective of my presentation is to equip authors with the knowledge they need to bring their book from first draft to final draft. Providing them with confidence as they make decisions on what steps to take and which steps will benefit them-and their work-best.
