You can break it down into three types: heavy, medium, and light editing. At all levels, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the editor corrects errors, queries the author about conflicting statements, requests advice when the means of resolving a problem is unclear, and prepares a style sheet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Light editing <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">takes the least time and usually involves minor changes to the text. Light editing means the writing has little need for improvement. Wordiness is corrected here or there, punctuation or a subject-verb agreement mistake is corrected, or a few sentences are broken up or joined for clarity. Sometimes, light editing is what the writer has requested of a freelance editor regardless of actual existing issues. Here, only the most glaring or problematic issues are corrected.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Correcting faulty spelling, grammar, and punctuation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Correcting incorrect usage\u00a0(such as\u00a0<\/span><b><i>can<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0for\u00a0<\/span><b><i>may<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking consistency in characters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring consistency in spelling, hyphenation, and capitalization.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A light copyedit does\u00a0<\/span><b><i>not<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0involve interventions such as smoothing transitions. The editor checks content only to detect spots where there are holes in the story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Medium editing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> comes between light and heavy. Moderate (or average) editing takes more time and usually involves restructuring sentences and rephrasing.\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performing all tasks for light copyediting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flagging inaccurately used figures of speech.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring that essential content is handled consistently and that criteria specified by the publisher are met.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring that there are no significant questions or gaps in content that leave the reader confused &#8220;by accident,&#8221; not intended.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking the continuity of plot, setting, and character traits, and querying the discrepancies, in fiction manuscripts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enforcing consistent style and tone in a multi-author fiction manuscript.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flagging ambiguous or incorrect statements that don&#8217;t add up in the story.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Heavy editing <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">takes the most time and usually involves significant restructuring and rephrasing at the sentence, paragraph, section, and manuscript levels. Heavy editing is the kind that blurs into substantive editing. It can mean almost a complete rewrite at the sentence level. But it could also mean working with a non-native, non-fluent English writer. The content might be fantastic from a developmental perspective. Still, sentences are cumbersome, paragraphs need better organization, and word choices aren&#8217;t the best.\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performing all tasks for medium copyediting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminating wordiness, triteness, and inappropriate jargon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoothing transitions and moving sentences to improve readability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggesting new ways to improve the content of the story to help with the flow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggesting<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and sometimes implementing<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">additions and deletions, noting them at the sentence and paragraph level.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Science fiction, for example, most of the time<\/strong>, the goal is to create a whole new world that the reader can get lost in. World creation involves vivid details, a good pace of the story to make sure your reader is absorbing everything, and then making sure your terms and fictional characters are on point. This usually needs a heavy edit right from the start because of the depth of science fiction novels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key differences between\u00a0heavy\u00a0and\u00a0medium\u00a0edits are the levels of judgment and rewriting involved. In a heavy edit, the editor improves the flow of text rather than merely ensuring correct usage and grammar. They may suggest recasts rather than simply flagging problems. And they may enforce a uniform level, tone, and focus as specified by the publisher or\u00a0developmental editor. This will also apply to how you see your story playing out and what you want your audience to receive from the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Dominique-Lambright.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-22844\" title=\"Dominique Lambright\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Dominique-Lambright-177x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dominique Lambright\" width=\"150\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Dominique-Lambright-177x300.jpg 177w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Dominique-Lambright.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Dominique Lambright is the owner of DML Editing &amp; Writing, a one-stop-shop for your book editing, book formatting, and ghostwriting needs.
