Every author needs an editor; every book needs an edit.
A good edit can transform a manuscript, turning ordinary into extraordinary. Editing yourself is almost impossible – bestselling authors would never dream of attempting it – so hiring an experienced editor is a really sound investment in the future of your book, if you want your writing to be the very best it can be.
There are three different types of edit and editor, all of which Authoright can provide:
Structural Edit: this is an intense, almost forensic assessment of every aspect of the manuscript – the narrative, vocabulary, structure, characterisation, style and development. The editor will look for errors and inconsistencies, areas which may confuse the reader, plot holes, irritating writing quirks and uninspiring, underdeveloped or unrealistic characters, scenarios and use of language. The structural editor uses their considerable knowledge of the craft of creative writing to bring the best out of a manuscript, combined with the benefits of their finely-tuned commercial awareness.
Copy Edit: A copy edit is not as intense as a structural edit but it’s by no means less important. A good copy editor will have an eagle eye for detail, identifying errors in grammar and spelling as well as inconsistencies of tone or terminology, flagging up elements of the narrative and the story’s trajectory that don’t work. Many editors will undertake the structural edit and the copy edit simultaneously, although some traditional publishing houses keep them completely separate.
Proofread: the last link in the editing chain, and essentially the final comprehensive inspection of the manuscript, where the editor checks for any errors that may have been missed in the previous in-depth edits. The proofread will polish the manuscript to perfection, or thereabouts.
It can be difficult for the same editor to undertake multiple revisions of the same manuscript, because, being human, they can begin to overlook tiny errors once they have grown used to a particular manuscript. Ideally, the editor performing the final proofread should be different to the editor who worked on the structural and copy editing.
