Substantive Editing
Revising manuscript’s structure both as a whole and paragraph
by
paragraph so that it reads in a logical, linear fashion.
Line Editing
Converting passive and static voice to active prose where feasible.
Correcting awkward phrasings and weak constructions and dealing with
the issues of non-sentences and fragments.
Copy Editing
Correcting mechanics and manuscript’s logistics: grammar,
spelling, syntax, punctuation and formatting and consistency.
Proofreading
Searching for typographical errors as the final process prior to
submission of manuscript.
Pitfalls
of Self-Editing
“While
you can edit your work to a point, the only way to be sure you are
communicating with anyone other than yourself is for someone else to
read it. Preferably, that means a “cold” reader;
i.e., someone not connected to you or your work in any way.”
