A thorough edit enhances the quality and polishes the wording of your manuscript by checking for larger issues that may hinder a reader’s ability to understand your message.

• Clarity—Does the writing focus around a clearly defined message? Is the wording unambiguous? Is the message clearly explained without talking down to or insulting the reader?
• Consistency—Are language usage and style consistent throughout the document? Are headings, images, and footnotes formatted consistently? Do the headings match the content?
• Accuracy—Are the facts presented correct, and do they support the conclusion? Do any of the ideas presented contradict each other? Are all quotations and references correctly cited?
• Style—Are most of the verbs active? Is the sentence style varied? Does each sentence present a unique idea?
• Flow—Is the information presented in a logical order? Is any vital information missing? Does the presentation of the information invite the reader to engage with the message?
