beta readers
This is typically the step immediately following that scary and intimidating first draft. Think of it as a reality check: Does the plot flow as intended? Are there any segments that seem disconnected? Is the story readable, but most important, is it fun to read?

content and structural editing
The editor now receives a written, and re-written, and probably modified masterpiece. They’ll focus on sentence structure, grammar, subject/verb agreement, and even those funny little things called an em-dash. Though this segment seems lengthy because it often is,) frustrating (of course), what will emerge is a product that’s ready to be published.
