Developmental Edits with Denise Santomauro

Anne-Marie welcomes freelance editor Denise Santomauro to dig into the when, why, and how of a developmental edit. We cover everything from different types of editing (editorial assessments, developmental edits, copyedits, proofreads) to what to expect in a contract, from how to find an editor to how to know if that editor is right for you.

Denise Santomauro is an editor, author coach, teaching artist, and writer. You can find her at denisesantomauro.com.
