What types of edit are there, and when do you need them?

What kind of editing does your manuscript require, and do you need it before submitting to an agent or self-publishing?

Hey writers!

I hope things are going well. My apologies for the lack of posts during the last week, after a family bereavement I took some time away from Substack which is why I haven’t shared anything new since last week. Things will be back to normal with two posts a week from this week onwards!
