About editing

Good editing will enhance the clarity and effectiveness of your written communication.

If you want to know more about the different skills involved in proofreading, copy editing, stylistic editing, substantive editing, and rewriting, the Editors’ Association of Canada (EAC) website is a good resource:
  • definitions of editorial skills
  • professional editorial standards      
    (very detailed)

Invest in a professional, and you can have a clear, error-free document that gives the impression you want it to give.
