There are four major types of editing that can be found across multiple industries and not all editing is the same.
Editorial assessment: This focuses on early stage writing and help identify big picture aspects of the manuscripts. The goal of an editor would be to give direction what the strengths and weaknesses of character, plot, and/or structure. This is to assess the quality of the content.
Developmental editing: The focus is in on questions regarding characters, motivations, themes, and importantly do the scenes help move the story. This is to have highlights/comments on the manuscript with specific suggestion for each issue.
Copy editing: Copy editing comes after big picture issues have been resolved. This helps with identifying inconsistencies, improved word choice, and prose. Elements included in copy editing:
Spelling,
Grammar,
Capitalization,
Word usage and repetition,
Dialogue tags,
Usage of numbers,
Descriptive inconsistences (character descriptions, locations, etc.)
Proofreading: This step typically comes in the latter stages of the editing process. Ideally proofreading helps ensure no spelling or grammar errors make it to the final cut. A final document would include highlights/comments with suggestions for each issue.
Reviews can be for a product, book, movie, or other services. I am able to analyze, evaluate, and rate based on quality, effectiveness, and overall perceptions. Reviews can be made in the form of reviewing on a host website (e.g. Amazon), independent publishing (e.g. Medium), or video review. Short-form and long-form mediums are available.
I am experienced with IRB research, multiple citation styles, and analyzing complex topics critically.
My professional skills are dominantly in History, Business, Health Sciences, and Higher Education. I hold a BA in History and an MS Higher Education and pursuing an additional MA in History.
I have tutored and taught a variety of courses at K12 and undergraduate levels. My specialties are in history, business, and health sciences. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions!
