Formatting (Design/Layout)
After a consultation with the writer about her/his specific needs regarding her/his manuscript’s appearance and depending on the genre of focus, the work will be formatted.
Proofreading
Noting writing errors for the author’s attention and correction. “Noting” is the key term; i.e., no corrections will be made of/on any part of the submitted text.
Surface-/Copy-Editing
Correcting surface errors (spelling, CAPS, punctuation, footnotes) and immediately evident grammatical flaws (word order, tense discrepancies, pronoun discrepancies, preposition mistakes, etc.). In sum: Correcting syntax with a focus on technical quality.
Content Editing
Correcting errors in semantics at the basic level; the focus being on how meaning is conveyed.
Comprehensive/Substantive Editing
Correcting errors in semantics at the advanced level; again, the objective being to correct meaning out of its drafted version.
*Microsoft’s Word Track Changes feature will allow the author to accept or refuse the suggested changes.
