What is the difference between copy and content editing?
Copy editing includes spelling, grammar, punctuation, proper word use (accept vs. except), etc. Content editing includes character development, character motivation, logical flow, redundancy, and consistency (your protagonist’s mother shouldn’t have graduated from Piedmont High in chapter 3 but in chapter 7 you say it was Trenton High). It also includes ambiguous or incorrect statements, inappropriate figures of speech, story structure and credibility.
