Developmental editing is the first step in the editing process. A developmental edit ensures that your plot, characters, and pacing are telling the story that you intended for readers to experience.

Copyediting is the process of reviewing a manuscript to improve and ensure consistency, clarity, and quality. A professional copyedit can help align your work to a style guide to prepare for publishing.

Proofreading is the last step in the editorial process. Professional proofreading can catch spelling and typographical mistakes, as well as formatting issues in manuscripts ready for publishing.
