The Blurry Line: Between the Developmental and the Copy Edits

Line editing is an often misunderstood and surprisingly nebulous stage of the writing process. To make sure we’re all on the same page in terms of vocabulary, I’ve copied a common definition: A line editor is attentive to the writer’s individual style (for that reason, the job is sometimes called stylistic editing) A line editor works line-by-line, tightening up sentence structure so the…

The Art of Critique from the Desk of David Beaumier

Understanding Peer Review and Feedback A Crucial Critique Skill for Authors Oftentimes when someone joins a critique group, it’s not because they’re in dire need of a free proofreader. They are looking to learn if their writing is any good, as Kiffer Brown says “Does it have a beat? Can you dance to it?” If you’d like to start your self-editing journey first, you can start here!

can i say something. for years i thought the joke of the song short skirt/long jacket by cake was that he wanted a woman who was hung like a horse. like i thought when he says jacket it was a last-second fakeout because he very obviously meant to say cock. and the rest of the things in the song were just her personality and interests. which were secondary to her awesome penis

The Developmental Edit

What is it and why every writer needs to do one. When most people think about editing, they assume it’s all about spelling and grammar… well, there is a type of edit that becomes way before that: the developmental edit.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)
