What is a Substantive Edit of your Novel?
A Substantive Edit (heavy edit) involves an examination of clarity, logic, structure, and pacing, as well as plot, character, and setting development. More than a basic proofread, a substantive edit focuses on word usage, tone, style, voice, and total writing strength. Notes will be given on a page by page basis, and overall project commentary will also be included.
The Substantive Edit for this giveaway will also include the identification and correction of typographical errors, punctuation errors, and grammar flaws.
