Developmental Editing: A Handbook for Freelancers, Authors, and Publishers

by Scott Norton

Book Overview

Editing is a tricky business. It requires analytical flair and creative panache, the patience of a saint and the vision of a writer. Transforming a manuscript into a book that edifies, inspires, and sells? That's the job of the developmental editor, whose desk is the first stop for many manuscripts on the road to bookdom--a route ably mapped out in the pages of Developmental Editing.
