Editing Services: WM Wordsculpting™
Developmental Editing deals with the formative stage of a manuscript and its content, organization, and presentation. Client and editor work as a team, sometimes from the initial concept, outline, or draft.
Content | Substantive Editing begins when the writing is finished and in final form. Content editors must consider how the piece holds together as a whole, identify problems, and determine solutions. In fiction a character may act out of character. In nonfiction, an argument may not be adequately supported. Overall clarity, accuracy, flow, and readability are also considered. When content editors reorganize or rewrite the text--or write new text--they must be keenly aware of maintaining the voice of the author.
Copyediting is also referred to as line editing because the text is scrutinized line by line. Working with final or near final text, copyeditors correct individual sentences. They check for accuracy and consistency in spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, usage, and style. Finally, they read for overall clarity and sense.
Proofreading is the last stage of the editorial process, the final polish. Typographical errors that were overlooked--or introduced--along the way are corrected. Proofreaders may compare the most recent stage
of text with the preceding one to make sure that there are no inconsistencies with earlier edits.
