Developmental editing is the first step in the editing process. A developmental edit ensures that your work has the right order, flow, and pacing to help the reader understand your message.

Copyediting is the process of reviewing a document 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.
