She first worked with three editors and a set of beta readers, who provided suggestions and edits free of charge. Next, a content editor looked over the manuscript and gave Sharples ten pages of edits. She kept writing and editing, presenting a new version to a second set of beta readers. They gave feedback on the timeline, content, and edits. A copy editor also provided his edits. In the end, Sharples reminds writers that they are the last red pen. No matter what an editor says, you have to review suggested edits and decide what you think about it.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-76/MadelineSharplesontheEditingProcessforherNovelPapasShoes.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../MadelineSharplesontheEditingProcessforherNovelPapasShoes.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video, Historical Fiction</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/editorial-services/w/developmental-editing/7456/madeline-sharples-on-the-book-editing-process-for-her-novel-papa-s-shoes/revision/1Fri, 23 Aug 2019 14:04:40 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:2946f39d-6099-409c-9991-efcaab6ea7d9Madeline SharplesRevision 1 posted to Developmental Editing by Madeline Sharples on 8/23/2019 2:04:40 PM<br /> <p>Author Madeline Sharples discusses how she used beta readers and professional editors to help polish her historical fiction novel, <em>Papa&#39;s Shoes</em>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-76/MadelineSharplesontheEditingProcessforherNovelPapasShoes.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../MadelineSharplesontheEditingProcessforherNovelPapasShoes.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video, Historical Fiction</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/editorial-services/w/developmental-editing/4366/content-or-developmental-editing---podcastFri, 02 Nov 2018 15:00:18 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:76b32f68-180f-4442-b422-6be1aeeb46baMarcela LandresCurrent Revision posted to Developmental Editing by Marcela Landres on 11/2/2018 3:00:18 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>What&#39;s the difference between content editing and copy editing?
