Editorial assessment is a manuscript review that provides feedback on the structure of your book, characterization, plot, pacing, and style. The primary purpose of an editorial assessment is to give you a sense of your book’s strengths and weaknesses to pursue additional editing services if needed.

Copy editing enhances mechanics, refines prose, and maintains style consistency. Grammar, punctuation, spelling, passive verbs, facts, typos, repeated words, sentence length, wordiness, and sentence construction are addressed in copy editing. This is the service you need if your story’s structure is solid, but the text improved. 

Developmental editing examines the larger structures: story, plot, characters, themes, style, and tone. A developmental editor ensures these elements are strong. Before they begin, use spellcheck to fix typos and spelling errors. This is the first step in editing, focusing on the content of a manuscript, paper, or article.

Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process: a thorough examination of your book that corrects minor errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar. proofreader do not give feedback on structure or other major editorial issues, but rather guarantees that your text goes to print without a single typo. 

Pick beta readers from your circle of friends, acquaintances, or even new faces who know your book's genre well. They might not be professional proofreaders, but their feedback is incredibly helpful in polishing your manuscript. These readers are crucial in fine-tuning your work and giving you a preview of how your target audiences will react.
