This is usually the first step of editing once you have completed your manuscript. This process is where editors provide an evaluation of an author’s work to help determine what the story needs in order to be ready for publishing. 

The critique focuses on big-picture issues such as plot holes, continuity errors, poor character development or relationships, pacing, sentence phrasing, confusing dialogue, and other matters relating to story elements.

  A line editor works line-by-line, tightening sentence structure so the language is sharp and clear. Line editing focuses on the finer details of a written work, such as sentence structure, consistent tense, word choice, use of dialogue tags and action beats, pace, and tone. Line editing is done at the sentence level, ensuring that each sentence flows smoothly and effectively communicates the author’s message. This type of editing helps to improve the overall clarity and quality of a piece of writing.

  Copy editing is a type of editing that focuses on correcting errors in grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, and formatting. Copy editors also check for consistency in style and tone, as well as ensure that the text is clear, concise, and free of any inconsistencies or inaccuracies. Copy editing is typically done before a piece of writing is published, and it helps to ensure that the final product is polished and professional.

For those who have been through the editing process in one way or the other, and now want a final set of eyes to catch any last issues that may have been missed. Proofreading involves checking for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalisation errors, as well as consistency in style, formatting, and layout.
