If you already know which type of editing your manuscript or website content requires, you can indicate this when submitting your project for a price estimate. However, if you know your project would benefit from professional editing but are unsure of which type, we would be more than happy to perform a textual evaluation and provide you with recommendations for next steps.

We may recommend one or a combination of the following types of editing:

• • Developmental Editing: Developmental editing is focused on strengthening the ideas presented in a text, ensuring that they are plausible, impactful, and well-rounded. A developmental edit does not involve any changes to the text itself, but rather identifies areas for improvement using sidebar comments or an itemized list.
  • Structural Editing: Structural editing often involves reorganizing chapters and paragraphs to achieve a logical progression of ideas. It may also involve eliminating redundant or irrelevant content and highlighting areas where content needs to be added for a smoother transition from one topic to another.
  • Stylistic Editing: Stylistic editing refines word choice, sentence structure, and tone to ensure ideas are communicated clearly and effectively. 
  • Copy Editing: Copy editing deals with the mechanics of written English and the accuracy of facts. It ensures proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and word choice, while verifying logic and accuracy.
