Substantive Editing (content editing)

Substantive editing is the process of reviewing the content of a text or document and making changes to ensure that the information is accurate and clear.  This includes structural editing, and can involve adding, deleting, or rearranging information.  Fact-checking is a key task in substantive editing to ensure that all of the facts are correct.

Copyediting

Copyediting is the process of reviewing content for grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes.   It also includes checking for consistency and formatting.   This helps ensure that the final product is free of errors.  We would like to review your established style guide, if available, to ensure our review meets your needs.

Line Editing

Line editing is the process of reviewing the wording of a text or document to ensure that the language is clear and effective.   A line editor can make changes to the word choice, sentence structure, and organization of the text.   This process is usually done after a first draft has been completed.  Each line is reviewed to ensure there are no areas that are confusing or unclear.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the process of reviewing the document to correct errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.  We will also check for inconsistencies or discrepancies in the sequence of events.
