EDITING
CHOICES
Editing is
available in three classes, based on the intensity of the edit.
A - BASIC
This category includes proofreading and correction
of faulty spelling, grammar and punctuation; and checking for the incorrect
usage of words. Consistency in spelling, hyphenation, numerals, fonts and
capitalisation are checked, as is sequencing in lists and other displayed
material. The document is checked to ensure that no copy is missing.
No major changes are made and a major purpose of
this category is a double check of the author's manuscript, based on the theory
that two heads are better than one!!
===================
AA - STANDARD
All aspects detailed under the Basic
category are checked. In addition text and heading changes to achieve a sound
structure are proposed, the consistent use of key terms is ensured, and
specific cross-references are checked. Vocabulary lists and the index are also
checked to ensure the requirements of examiners are met. Previews, summaries
and end of chapter questions are checked to ensure they reflect content.
Ambiguous or 'incorrect' statements
are queried.
====================
AAA - ADVANCED
The advanced option
includes all aspects covered by the Standard edit. The key difference
between the standard and advanced edit is the level of rewriting and judgement
involved. Thus the advanced edit includes the smoothing and moving of sentences
to improve readability, the assigning/deletion of headings to improve
structure, and the suggestion/implementation of other additions/deletions. A
cross-check of the Bibliography or List of References is undertaken. The flow
of text is improved and the examiners requirements are checked and implemented.
This edit can include the suggestion of formats for the manuscript, the
rewriting and restructuring of text, and the movement of words, sentences or
paragraphs where this will improve readability.
====================
My editing will not ensure success - this depends
on the content.
Certainly my editing can greatly improve your
chances!!
I provide an electronic copy and, if required, a printed
copy of the final document.
For American students, a suitable spelling
dictionary is used.
