Do you understand the differences between developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading? Do you know what order they need to be done in? Do you know how to prepare your manuscript for editing, how to find reliable editors, and how much they will cost? Or are you considering becoming an editor yourself and looking for a place to learn more about it?

You’ll have a chance to get all the answers you need from Andrew Doty.

Editing can seem like an overwhelming topic from the outside. Don’t be intimidated. Get clear insights and inside experience at this talk!
