Depth of Editing
Light Editing
Light editing focuses on grammar, punctuation and spelling. I also look for mistakes regarding labels for tables and figures, even making sure things are numbered correctly.
Medium Editing
During a medium edit I expand on the light edit by ensuring the formatting, content, style and clarity are up to standard.
Heavy Editing
While completing a heavy edit I analyze the sentences and their structure. I analyze the work for wordiness, vagueness, redundancies and many other aspects.
Types of Editing
Proofreading
I specifically look for flaws in spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Copyediting
I assess a sentence on different levels at the same time; I look for flaws in spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, flow, and content.
Line Editing
I strengthen sentences by looking for redundancies, weak verbs, and clichés. I also focus on grammar and syntax.
Developmental Editing
I help strengthen overall weaknesses, do research, rewrite chapters, and develop characters and plotlines.
