thanks a lotWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Editors do several types of editing!.

Proofreading is one of the types of editing and is the final step of editing a manuscript!. Proofreaders look for errors in spelling and punctuation, mistakes in usage and other small errors that got past the copyedit phase!.

Copyediting is a term that is misunderstood and misused a lot to encompass any type of editing!. Copyediting, however, checks for errors in spelling, usage, grammar, punctuation, consistency, labeling, style and so forth!.

Substantive editing (or developmental editing) reviews the text to make sure the content and structure work throughout the manuscript!. In a substantive edit, portions of the text can be removed, moved around, expanded, condensed and rewritten!.

All types of editing require a great depth of understanding of grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage, style, syntax, mechanics, form, genre and more!. I think you'll find that editors are generally well read as well!.
