In this episode of The Plot Thickens, we're getting into the nitty-gritty of editing—because let’s be real, most writers have no clue where to start.

I’m breaking down the four key stages of editing:

  1. Developmental Editing

  2. Line Editing

  3. Copyediting

  4. Proofreading

You’ll learn what each one actually does, when you need it, and how to tell which stage your manuscript is in right now. Whether you’re staring at a messy first draft or polishing your final pages, this episode will help you stop guessing—and start planning your editing process like a pro.
