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?
