This is possibly not the correct subreddit to post this; I'd appreciate being redirected to the appropriate one. My question concerns developmental editing. I believe this is the career I want to pursue, or at least adjacent. I have experience translating and some experience editing texts. (I've helped an indie author refine their work and make their ideas clearer.) If I could connect with someone who'd be able to tell me more about the developmental editor role, maybe let me shadow them, and show me the ropes, I'd appreciate it very much. How difficult is it to build a career in this field? Again, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
