Development Editing For Dummies

This month I've undertaken a new role with John Wiley & Sons (the publishers of For Dummies guides). As well as a Wiley proofreader and copy editor, I will now be a developmental editor as well, which basically means looking at the 'bigger picture' of a book and working with the structure, organisation, flow, content and tone of the material, rather than purely the language.

My first developmental editing job is under way and is called Tax Guide For Dummies. Hopefully, I'll pick up some tips on saving money on my tax bill along the way . . .
