Developmental, substantive, or content editing (Initial Assessment)
Developmental editing, also known as Initial Assessment or content editing, is usually the first step of editing a manuscript will go through. Developmental editing looks deeply at the content of a manuscript.
This form of editing asks questions:
Does the content have clarity?
Does it flow well?
Are the ideas clearly developed and articulated?
Are there any major logical holes or flaws?

Please leave notes for the author to consider and recommend changes. The editor may delete sections or suggest adding more information.

Focus on logical flow, style, tone, and general quality of writing. Like developmental or substantive editing, look at the big picture of the writing to thoroughly develop a well-written, well-organized manuscript.

This is a collaborative project, so all of the chapters will need to remain as individual documents.
