Structural editing looks at the organization, structure, and coherence of a work. It focuses on logic and flow as well as tone and style with regard to the purpose and intended audience.
Benefits
A structural edit ensures that your writing is well-organized with each chapter building on the previous one. It makes sure your work is presented in a coherent and logical manner and an appropriate pace for the subject matter. Structural editing looks for gaps, consistent tone, conciseness in the writing, and ensures that writing is appropriate for the intended audience. Identifying problems early in the writing process – after the first full draft is complete or sooner if you get stuck – saves time and prevents unnecessary editing and polishing before a text is ready. Reviewing the results of a structural edit will increase your awareness and ability to create a strong structure.
