Substantive editing is the perfect step for nonfiction authors who want to tighten up their manuscript before the final copyedit. Without altering the overall structure, nonfiction substantive editing can make sure each section is clear and concise, the content is doing what it’s supposed to, and readers can follow every word.
Substantive editing isn’t right for nonfiction authors looking for help structuring their outline. (That’s developmental editing.) It also isn’t right for authors looking for help with spelling, grammar, and syntax. (That’s copyediting.)
However, for authors who want someone to enhance their writing at the sentence and paragraph level, substantive editing is the perfect approach.
