The Editorial Department at Author’s Channel has a team of experienced and talented
editors. Authors can choose from the following services offered by the department.
Substantial Editing
It is the first step of the editing process where the manuscript is checked for
various aspects like consistency in the plot, style of narration, flow of content,
and the organization of the content. Also known as comprehensive or developmental
editing, it is a crucial step in shaping the manuscript into a great book.
Copy Editing
It is the second step of the editing process where the manuscript (post substantial
editing) is checked for grammatical, punctuation, spelling, and any other kind of
possible errors. At this stage, every other element of the manuscript, including
lists, figures, diagrams, chapter numbers and titles, and table of contents are
double-checked.
Proofreading
It is the last step of the editing process. Proofreading is done after the manuscript
is typeset and ready for print. It is done on the hard copy of the final manuscript.
Typos, missed punctuations, and any other mistakes that are missed in the previous
levels are rectified here, making the book publication-ready.
