Substantive/Developmental Editing: This type of editing focuses on the content as well as the structure of the text. It includes examining the message and meaning that the manuscript conveys, assessing the order of the text, evaluating how logical, connected and consistent the order of the text is, and the overall clarity and flow of the text.
Stylistic Editing: This type of editing involves examining the text in terms of its grammar, spelling, syntax, clarity and style. This includes checking for accuracy, polishing the text to ensure it’s consistent, and improving the readability of the text.
Copy Editing: Copy editing looks at the overall accuracy and consistency of the text. It involves checking for grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes, as well as correcting typos and making sure the text is consistent in terms of spelling and grammar.

These three types of editing are important to ensure that the text is well-crafted, grammatically correct and flows well. Even though they can be very time-consuming, they are necessary steps in ensuring quality and ensuring that the message of the text is conveyed effectively.
