It is a complete examination of all the elements of the author’s manuscript, from single words and the phrasing of individual sentences to the overall structure and style of the manuscript (as it relates to the author’s style of writing). It can address plot holes, gaps or inconsistencies, problematic characterization, readability, paragraph cohesiveness, etc. Developmental editing focuses on the manuscript’s storyline, big picture, and plays a deeper role in the development of the manuscript.
Copy/Line Editor/Editing: focus on the manuscript from the perspective of grammar, punctuation and diction (i.e. word choice) meant to improve readability. They look at grammar, punctuation, spelling and the need for substituting weak words and phrases with more powerful alternatives that brings out the overall message or intent of the manuscript.
