Hi, Crich...
Gee, I find myself potentially putting my foot in my mouth here. I've personally worked with a number of New York Times bestselling authors, so I must be more careful what I say.
Let me put it this way: Yes.
Caveat: But not always. When they're really good, they need virtually no editing.
Caveat Part II: Oh, and new authors are very often willing to go above-and-beyond to follow editorial direction. It's the occasional one with an ego the size of a Pullman car that are really tough to deal with.
