This is a discussion on "Pulling Back the Publishing Veil: Editors and Their Roles" in the Publishing forum.
This week's article at Amazing Stories: Pulling Back the Publishing Veil: Editors and Their Roles
In it I discuss the various roles:
- Acquisition Editor
- Structural Editor (sometimes referred to as content editor)
- Copy Editor
- Line Editor
- Proof Reader
And also give an overview of the process.
Enjoy!

Nice article Michael. Thanks for sharing.
