Developmental Editing, 2nd Edition
By Scott Norton
An advanced study in developmental editing, complete with examples that clearly illustrate techniques. The author is clearly an expert in this field. I would recommend this book to anyone aspiring to become an editor. The information in this book is also valuable to authors. As an author, using the techniques described in this book, should radically cut down on errors, both in taxonomy as well as story development, characters, and plot arcs.
Highly recommended.
