Book Editing Definitions
Developmental Edits:
An editor will provide you with structural guidance, story suggestions, edits, and revisions for their manuscript. In the developmental process, the editor assists the author in forming a vision for their book and coaches them to ensure their vision is successfully executed. Developmental editing may include:
- Restructuring chapters to improve flow
- Offering guidance on plot, characters, setting, dialogue, and other writing conventions
- Suggesting rewrites or additions
- Checking citations and creating a bibliography
- Formatting
- A table of contents
Line Edits:
A line edit addresses the creative content, writing style, and language used at the sentence and paragraph level. During this process, we may address the following:
- Words or sentences that are extraneous or overused
- Run-on sentences
- Redundancies and wordy sentences
- Paragraphs that can be tightened/cut for clarity
CopyEdits:
Copyediting will address the more technical aspects of the writing. During the copyediting process, the editor will focus on the following:
- Correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax
- Consistency in formatting, fonts, numerals, etc.
- Polishing prose

Blown away by her ability to capture my voice
Bethany is an amazing copywriter. She really takes the time to learn about your business and to capture your voice. I’ve been working with her for the past couple of months, and I am blown away by what she comes up with; it feels like she crawled into my brain and yanked out the information.

People-focused, personable, and passionate about getting the story right
Bethany has been writing blogs and helping with content for our monthly newsletter for a few months now. She's easy to work with, taking our ideas and shaping them into workable content. As a business that is particular about our messaging, we also appreciate that she is open to feedback and edits - and she gives us a chance to suggest both before the finished "product" is published. She's passionate about getting the story right. She's people-focused and personable. We genuinely like her as a human being and highly value her skills. I think we'll be working with her for quite some time.

Janice Steinbach, contributing author of "The Game Changer"
She encouraged me to have confidence in my writing and my story.
As a first-time author, I was nervous about putting my personal experiences into the world. I thought an editor would correct grammar and offer sentence revisions, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the experience to be much more collaborative. Bethany gently guided me through the editing process and gave me suggestions on how to improve the narrative elements of the manuscript. She encouraged me to have confidence in my writing and my story. I highly recommend Bethany and Susie for their editing and book publishing services.
