- Line Editing:
- The basic level of copyediting, where one reads a manuscript or document to find typos, grammatical errors, problems
with syntax, and format differences, and to delete alignment problems, heading style inconsistencies, and specific publication guideline differences.
- Substantive Editing:
- Suggesting rewrites, reordering content, doing research for photos or Web sites, and/or adding a glossary. It may also
include checking the validity and labeling of charts, tables, and photos; checking on answers for questions; ensuring companion
or ancillary books are referenced correctly and even complex word processing of all the changes.
- Proofreading:
- Once a manuscript is typeset, ensuring that it reads the way the author intended it to, that corrections are made, and
formats are consistent. It may also include the creating or checking of indexes, alphabetization of lists, and the correct explanation
or demonstration of nontext elements (structures, formulas, equations, etc.).
