@IanThistlethwaite How lovely. My late husband’s name was Harold Lloyd. I felt like this was a wink from him. You just never what these list might spark. Thank you.

@Jtmoriartywriter I call this work book coaching. As a book coach, you are helping the writer grow the story by delving into structure, character, phrasing, etc. Looking at the story at the macro and micro level. My aim is to hone their writing chops for anything they write, not just for one story. I use my edits and suggestions to coach. Showing how to improve both the story and their writing. Another term for the type of editing you described is developmental editing.
