Developmental editing is an involved process that requires analyzing of a lot of moving parts. Keeping track of those parts in a systemized way allows you to ensure you cover what you need to.
Adding structure to your process can help you stay focused on the elements that matter. That, in turn, can help you deliver an edit that targets what your client needs.
This webinar covers:
- Using systems to keep track of key story elements and help you analyze them
- Techniques to help you step back and give yourself space to think about the story
- Creating a structural plan to help you maintain focus when marking up the manuscript
- Processes that can help you communicate with the author about the big picture
