Editing
|
| |
|
| |
Copyediting,
also known as line editing, comprises mechanical editing and
substantive editing: |
| |
|
| |
| |
Mechanical
editing: checking for capitalization, spelling, hyphenation,
punctuation, use of abbreviations, basic grammar, syntax,
and usage.
Substantive
editing: basic organization and presentation of content,
rephrasing for flow or clarity, checking for style
(house style, jargon, within industry/subject area);
not as rigorous as developmental editing.
|
|
| |
|
| |
Developmental
editing
(sometimes called content editing) is usually done before
a manuscript is submitted to a publisher. A developmental
editor (DE) considers all the details of a manuscript and
how they contribute to the work's overall intent. |
| |
|
| |
| |
The
glut of submissions requires that literary agents
put most proposals aside if manuscripts are not already
shipshape, so authors do well to consider hiring a
developmental editor on their own before shopping
a proposal around to agents.
-Scott
Norton from Developmental Editing

For
nonfiction, developmental editing examines the presentation
and support of the theme, the appropriateness of the writing
style (businesslike, informal, etc.), and the pace and balance
of subject areas to ensure the manuscript clearly conveys
the author's message.
In
fiction, characters and plot are the two main areas in which
developmental editing has the most impact. Regarding the
former, the DE looks at the integrity, actions, and dialogue
of the characters. For plot, the DE considers the flow and
pacing, the delivery of the essential story, plot twists
(if applicable), and other aspects.
Proofreading
usually comes after copyediting and involves reading printers'
proofs or typeset copy against original text to detect and
mark errors to be corrected.
