What type of Editor ?

 Would you say this is a correct summary of the different types of editing? 


Developmental Editor: Think of them as a Super beta reader; a developmental editor will study your manuscript for plot development, characters, story structure, themes, etc.

Line Editor: this type of editor will read your manuscript and consider the tense, flow, consistency, and clarity of each line. They will also correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but that isn’t their main focus.

Copy Editor: Focuses entirely on spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Proofreader: often the final person to look at a manuscript, the proofreader catches any last spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes. Source: Liz Delton Facebook Post
