When you think about your manuscript in its entirety, ask yourself: Do you have concerns about the core narrative or plot? If so, a developmental edit might be your best route. Are you more anxious about the rhythm, continuity, and flow? Then a line edit is what you’re after. For those meticulous details like grammar, spelling, and punctuation, a proofread is the way to go. And if you’re aiming to ensure your content is inclusive and respectful, a sensitivity read is the ideal choice.
