Content Editing

What is Content Editing?

Content editing is the first step in publishing your book. It consists of developmental editing and line editing, which combines to provide thorough suggestions about the structure and content of your book.
Developmental editing focuses on:
- overall story
- continuity through the book or series
- changes to structure or narrative
- voice and tone consistency
- content organization
- genre considerations
- big picture issues (e.g. plot holes), and proposed solutions
- character interactions and dialogue
- pacing (e.g. rushed scenes, repetitions, and expanded details)
Line editing focuses on:
- each sentence, line by line
- language and style
- clarity and flow
- suggestions to rewrite and reorganize sentences and passages for a smoother and more consistent story line
