Developmental book editing is a type of editing in which the editor works with the author to improve the overall structure and content of a book. This type of editing is usually done on non-fiction books, but can also be done on novels. Developmental book editing is different from line editing or copy editing, which focus on improving the grammar, spelling, and punctuation of a book. Developmental book editors usually have a degree in English, writing, or publishing, and have experience editing books.

Developmental book editing is a process of working with an author on a book-length manuscript, usually with the goal of helping the author to improve the book and make it more publication-ready. The editor works with the author to help them to identify and solve problems with the book, such as plot holes, inconsistent characters, weak writing, and more. Developmental editing is usually a more involved and extensive process than copy editing or line editing, and often requires multiple rounds of editing.

Developmental book editing is a type of editing that focuses on the overall structure and development of a book, as opposed to line editing, which focuses on the individual sentences and paragraphs. Developmental editors work with authors to help them organize and develop their ideas, and they also offer feedback on the overall direction of the book.

There are different levels of developmental editing, from general feedback on the overall plot and structure of the book, to more in-depth feedback on individual scenes and chapters. Developmental editing can be a very involved process, and it can be helpful to have an editor who is familiar with both the book's genre and the author's style.
