Tip O'Day for Authors #176

Guest blogger Jennie Spallone has editing advice.

Use a developmental editor before sending your sample chapters to a potential agent. A developmental editor differs from a copy editor in that she/he focuses on finding errors in POV, pacing, tension, and plot while the copy editor focuses on grammar and sentence structure. Look at the back of Writers Digest Magazine for developmental editors. Be sure to interview a few before making a choice.
