To ensure you make an informed decision, follow this evaluation framework:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Request_a_Sample_Edit\"><\/span>1. Request a Sample Edit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reputable editing agencies and independent editors should offer a free 500-to-1,000-word sample edit of your manuscript. This allows you to evaluate their editing style, depth of critique, and track-changes feedback before entering into a contract.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Verify_Genre_Expertise\"><\/span>2.

Developmental editing addresses high-level structural issues, plot points, and chapter organization. Doing line editing or copyediting first can lead to wasted money if entire chapters need to be rewritten or removed during structural revisions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_copyediting_and_proofreading\"><\/span>What is the difference between copyediting and proofreading?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Copyediting fixes style, grammar, syntax, and sentence structure on an unformatted draft.
