While macro editing concentrates on the overall picture, which includes structure, plots, and themes of a paper, micro editing is all about small issues such as grammar, punctuation, and diction. Similar to proofreading and editing services, macro and micro editing also have different foci.
Macro Editing
It is concerned with structure and coherence of the work, which means ensuring the logical flow of chapters and paragraphs.
The macro editing process is concerned with fixing inconsistencies in the plot, adding, deleting sections and making amendments to major concepts.
It is aimed at maintaining the consistency of the central idea and the voice throughout the work.
Micro Editing
It addresses typos, errors in punctuation and verb tenses.
Additionally, it deals with style of sentences, for example, it concerns revising diction and cutting long sentences.
