She first identifies the <a href="/editing/editorial-services/w/editorial-assessments/7366/the-three-levels-of-readability-in-a-book">three levels of readability</a>: surface structure, scene, and content. While these three levels need to work together, they fall under different editorial spaces. Typically, each of these levels is edited separately. Each level Schier mentions corresponds with a different type of editor. For example, a development editor will typically focus on the content level of a manuscript. He or she will work with plot structure, character development, and theme. A line editor mostly assumes the developmental editing has been done. He or she will work with the style and tone to make sure the whole story works as a cohesive unit. Finally, copy editors (or proofreaders) will work with the basics of grammar and spelling. This is typically the last step because it&rsquo;s the easiest to deal with. Writers can turn to editors at any point in this process and will receive different feedback based on what they&rsquo;re looking for.
