What are the steps of ProEdit's editing process?

ProEdit can customize its editing process to meet your needs. We have an adaptable editorial processthat we use to ensure your document is free of errors and confusing language.

ProEdit can customize its editing process from among the following steps:

• Read the document word-for-word.
• Refine the document's language, making suggestions to improve the clarity and quality of the language.
• Check for run-on sentences, wordiness, sexist language, awkward constructions, vague language, and passive voice.
• Insert comments or questions regarding items such as misused words, inappropriate content or tone, missing cross-references, major organizational problems, and awkward or confusing passages.
• Enter corrections directly into the file.
• Check cover, title page, and copyright page for consistency.
• Check that abbreviations and acronyms are spelled out at first reference.
• Check for spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.
• Check page breaks for widows and orphans.
• Check placement and consistency of headers and footers.
• Ensure correct formatting of all parts of the document.
• Compare the last draft of a manuscript with a new draft.
• Check front matter for appropriate copyright information and date, acknowledgments, table of contents, list of conventions, and trademarks, when appropriate.
• Check the table of contents and index for accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
