FAQs
What are the different types of editing?
There are, in general, three types of editing that occur in the following order:
1) Developmental editing considers the foundational and structural elements of the work, such as characters, plot elements, dialogues, themes, points of view, voices, illustrations, and divisions of the work into chapters or sections. The core story or message of the text is determined and structured during this stage of the editing process.
2) Line editing, which follows developmental editing, involves the presentation of the core story or message of the text. Here, correctness, consistency, flow, and logic of the work are considered in wording, sentences and paragraphs. This is the time when an editor determines the right way to tell the story or present the message.
3) Copyediting is examining a text, not yet formatted for its final appearance in print or electronic form, for errors in punctuation, capitalization, spelling, syntax and formatting by the author, and proposing corrections that maintain the original intent of the creator of the work.
Is copyediting the same as proofreading?
Although many people use the terms interchangeably, copyediting and proofreading are different operations. Proofreading involves reviewing text that has been formatted for its intended appearance. This is the responsibility of the publisher of the text.
What types of editing services do you provide?
We provide developmental editing and line editing services for our clients. As a courtesy, we will perform copyediting on the works on which we perform developmental editing and line editing at the conclusion of our editing work.
Do you write text or design graphics?
No. All activities involved in the creation and marketing of a text, including authorship, illustration, graphic design and preparation of marketing copy, are the responsibilities of our clients.
