FAQ
What is substantive editing, and how is it different from copyediting or proofreading?
Substantive editing focuses on the content and structure of your manuscript. I look at clarity, flow, organization, tone, pacing, and overall coherence. Copyediting and proofreading handle grammar, spelling, and surface-level issues—substantive editing goes deeper.
What is substantive editing?
Substantive editing—also known as structural editing or content editing—is the deepest level of editing. It focuses on the overall content, structure, flow, and clarity of a document, not just the grammar or spelling. Think of it as editing with a bird’s-eye view of the entire piece.
Do you edit both fiction and nonfiction?
Yes! I work with a wide range of genres and formats. Whether you have a novel, memoir, book text, or professional document, I’ll tailor the edit to suit your voice, audience, and goals.
How does the 1000-word free sample work?
Once you contact me, send the first 1000 words of your manuscript. I’ll provide a full substantive edit on that sample—free of charge—so you can see the quality and style of my work before placing an order.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
Not at all. My goal is to enhance your message and clarity while preserving your unique voice. I’ll offer suggestions and edits that stay true to your original tone and intention.
