Editing

The right edit for the actual stage of the book.

Structural work fixes the book's foundation. Line and copyediting refine the language. Proofreading checks the final formatted pages.

Developmental and structural editing

  • Plot, argument, pacing, and organization
  • Chapter structure and information gaps
  • Character, narrative, and reader journey
  • Editorial letter and notes within the manuscript

Line and copyediting

  • Clarity, flow, tone, and repetition
  • Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage
  • Editorial style sheet and consistency review

Proofreading

The final proof is checked after formatting for remaining typos, spacing, headings, page references, and layout inconsistencies.
