Top Frequently Asked Questions
What skills should your article editor be showcasing in their HostJane listings?


Accurate article editing requires a systematic approach to ensure clarity, coherence, and correctness. Here are 17 core principles that guide professional editors:

1. Clarity
Ensure the message is clear and easily understood by the target audience.

2. Consistency
Maintain consistency in style, tone, terminology, and formatting throughout the article.

3. Grammar and Syntax
Correct grammatical errors and ensure sentences are structurally sound.

4. Punctuation
Check for correct use of punctuation marks to aid readability and meaning.

5. Spelling
Verify spellings, particularly for technical terms or names, and adhere to a consistent style (e.g., British vs. American English).

6. Fact-Checking
Confirm the accuracy of facts, figures, dates, and citations to prevent misinformation.

7. Style Guide Adherence
Follow the appropriate style guide (AP, Chicago, MLA, etc.) relevant to the publication or author's preference.

8. Logical Flow
Ensure the narrative or argument flows logically from one point to the next.

9. Conciseness
Eliminate redundancy and verbose language to keep the article concise without losing essential information.

10. Coherence
Check that all parts of the article relate to the main thesis or purpose, removing any irrelevant sections.

11. Voice and Tone
Maintain the author's voice while ensuring the tone matches the intended audience and purpose.

12. Audience Awareness
Tailor the language, depth of explanation, and complexity to suit the readership.

13. Sensitivity
Be mindful of cultural, gender, and other sensitivities to avoid bias or offense.

14. SEO and Keywords
For online articles, incorporate SEO principles without compromising content quality, ensuring keywords are used naturally.

15. Citations and References
Ensure all sources are properly cited and referenced according to the chosen style guide.

16. Headings and Subheadings
Use clear, descriptive headings to guide readers through the article's structure.

17. Proofreading
Perform a final pass to catch any overlooked errors, ensuring the article is polished before publication.

These principles are not just about correcting errors but also about enhancing the article's effectiveness in communicating its message. Good editing involves a balance between respecting the author's original intent and making necessary changes for clarity, accuracy, and readability. Each principle requires an editor to be both meticulous and thoughtful, often involving multiple read-throughs with different focuses (content, style, grammar, etc.).
