Copyediting  Substantive Editing Technical Editing  Proofreading Writing / Rewriting

Copyediting:  A copyedit provides proofreading corrections, with the addition of grammatical corrections and suggestions to improve stylistic consistency. Run-on sentences and fragments are corrected to improve readability. A copyedit results in a polished, well-written, readable document.

Substantive Editing:  The substantive editing process involves proofreading, copyediting, and restructuring awkward sentences and paragraphs to craft a readable document that is clear and concise. Content is assessed for inaccuracy, inconsistency, or incompleteness. Suggestions are made as necessary regarding organization and flow of information to ensure that the document achieves the objectives intended by the writer. A substantive edit results in a well-written, well-organized, and complete document.

Technical Editing:  Technical editing includes all aspects of substantive editing, with an additional emphasis placed on ensuring technical accuracy. Special attention is given to the use of correct and appropriate technical terminology and language. A technical edit may involve verifying information or querying the author about information that is false or potentially misleading. A technical edit results in a well-written, well-organized, technically accurate document.

Proofreading:  Documents submitted for proofreading are carefully reviewed to ensure correct spelling, capitalization, word usage, and punctuation, and to eliminate gross grammatical errors and formatting inconsistencies. Proofreading results in a crisp and polished document.

Writing and Rewriting:  An expertly written, well-organized, accurate document will be crafted by Editorial Expertise according to your guidelines for subject matter, length, tone, and audience. The document will be created either from materials provided by the client or from information researched and gathered by the writer.
