Developmental editing involves evaluating how well everything hangs together across the whole of a text to help the author deliver their message as clearly and effectively as possible. In fiction, the focus is on narrative craft and style or ‘voice’, ensuring cohesion across these in draft texts. This course is suitable for editors who are interested in introducing fiction developmental editing to their services. Weekly sessions will take place from 10am to 12pm BST.
