![]() ![]() It is unavoidable that you will have blind spots. That’s not what the industry means, and more importantly, not what every writer needs. Many times I have cringed to hear a writer say that their novel has been edited-that for $100 someone caught all the typos. Even when a submission shows promise, practicalities often force them to favor work that has arrived pre-edited. Yet today’s in-house editors lament that they have less and less time to invest in developmental editing. Everyone in publishing views it as a mandatory step. In the publishing industry, the dev edit-long before line-editing or copyediting come into play-aims to shape the book to challenge and thus cement its structure and ultimately to deliver a more competitive product. ![]()
