What is Editing and Proofreading?

Many newbie authors or even experienced authors are often sure about the difference between editing and proofreading. Often, they will end up paying for an editing job, when in fact they need a proofreader. Editing and proofreading produce different outcomes on the manuscript and hence writers must be aware of what they do. Editing and proofreading are two different stages of document preparation. This article will explain the difference between the two.

Editing – Editing is performed on the first draft of the document and continues till the draft is finalized. This activity involves a qualified editor making changes and suggestions that will improve the overall quality of a manuscript, particularly concerning language use and expression. After editing, the language will be sharp and consistent, the expression clear, and the overall readability of the book gets enhanced. Editing involves creativity and considers the feelings of the reader or the intended audience. Editing ensures that your book gives an impression that the English or other language comes naturally to you.
