"Every editing project needs a customized approach."

Generally, there are four main stages in the editing process.

Depending on the project, there may be overlap between each area.

Below is a guide to help you identify your project needs.

Concerned about flow, coherence and organization?

Structural (also called substantive or developmental) editing defines ideas, organizes concepts and fact checks your work.

Result: A story that resonates with your readers.

Preoccupied with redundancies and style alignment?

Stylistic editing refines language, enhances tone and highlights your voice.

Result: Content that links your voice to your audience.

Need to check format and consistency?

Copyediting ensures consistent format and corrects grammar and punctuation.

Result: Sleek content that generates impact.

Need a final review and polish of your content?

Proofreading catches elusive typos, grammar slips and overlooked mishaps.

Result: An accurate and polished product.
