Are you in the process of writing a book or already have written a book? One of the basic first steps all writers face when the complete a manuscript is finding an editor. Many writers think of editing as simply identifying and fixing errors associated with spelling and grammatical typos, poor word choices or awkward syntax; however, the world of book editing is so much more. There are many different terms for and types of editing: developmental editing, line editing, copy editing and even proofreading.
