: Re: Editors: Edit on first read, or read and edit on second round? I edit novels (among other works). I was having a discussion with someone (not an editor) who didn't understand my technique.

As with Standback, it's agreeable that either approach could work and that there's no "official" way to do it.

Perhaps it's advisable to try the next one the read-then-edit way and see how it works any better for you.

There is one way you could try it by reaching a middle ground. Perhaps only correcting obvious errors such as spelling, punctuation and grammar, then once you have read the whole manuscript, go back and look at the story itself.
