VSProse @vsprose.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The costly version is paying for a fine edit on a draft that still needs cuts. Best order I've seen: self-edit, beta readers, fix the structural damage, then bring in the professional pass. Same spend, better manuscript. 100
Stacey Kondla @staceykondla.bsky.social · 02/08/2026My opinion for the best order is self editing, beta readers, developmental edit, copy edit, proofread. 110
VSProse @vsprose.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yes, that's basically what we do. Do you skip the Line edit? 110
