Substantive Editing
light: $0.08 per word
heavy: $0.10 per word
Substantive editing, also called content editing, looks at the foundation and the meat of your manuscript, evaluating what works and what doesn't. This service is for manuscripts that are in a final draft stage but require greater editorial assistance than that provided by copyediting. We will evaluate your manuscript from a holistic standpoint, looking at the content, organization, and presentation of your complete text.
We will look at aspects such as continuity, repetition, awkward or confusing language, and more. We'll make sure your text is well organized, readable, and intelligible. Like developmental editing, substantive editing looks at the big picture, but in a more focused way.
This service may include reorganization and/or rewriting at the sentence or paragraph level. We will ensure internal consistency in facts and point of view. We will ensure that your content is presented consecutively, unless it is a fictional work in which the plot intentionally backtracks. We will additionally produce a style sheet for your manuscript.
