There are several types of editing processes:
• Copy Editing – focuses on correcting the spelling, grammar, punctuations, capitalization, and consistency.
• Developmental Editing – focuses on improving the flow and the content of your book itself.
• Proofreading – focuses on correcting all the mistakes that have been missed.
Unfortunately, plenty of self-published authors do not recognize how much editing can improve their work. As a writer, you must learn to acknowledge your weaknesses and accept corrections for your mistakes in order to make room for improvement. Make sure your final draft is as error-free as possible!
