Content Editing:
·
Content and style
o If nonfiction, is the material accurate (to the best of the
editor's knowledge)? Does it answer the questions a reader would expect to be
answered?
- Is the writing clear and easy
to understand by the audience for whom it is intended? (If the editor has
difficulty understanding the manuscript, a reader may have difficulty as
well.)
- Does the material flow in a
logical, orderly manner?
- Is spelling correct and
consistent? (Is a character referred to as “John” in one instance and
“Jon” in another?) If abbreviations and acronyms are used, are they
consistent? Will the reader know the meaning of technical terms and
acronyms or do they need to be explained?
