Professional
editing is more than just a grammar check. It provides a consistency
of style and assures readability throughout the content.
The
work of multiple authors is blended into a smooth adherence
of purpose, balance and quantity of information. Terminology
is stabilized in accordance to the determined audience knowledge
base.
Encouraging
an economy of words promotes concise copy, which differs from
brief copy. Conciseness leads to a uniform flow, voice, level
of clarity and depth for the reader. The details of the information
remain minus redundencies and fluff.
Simple
editing checks for grammar, voice, and basic structure.
It focuses on the wording within the presented structure.
Design changes and development are functions of complex editing.
Complex
editing includes document format evaluation and design,
as well as the development of visual cues and explanations.
Visual cues are accomplished with layout techniques, flow
charts, graphs and symbols.
