What's the difference between editing and copyediting? Great question!
Substantive editing consists of reorganizing and rewriting the document. It's what you'll need when you have taken a stab at your project, realize you're off-base, and need a new direction or fresh perspective.
Copyediting consists of checking for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, usage, and style. Copyediting ensures a consistent style and clears up any confusion within the document. This process should be done before the document is designed.
