Editorial Review Methodology

Review dimensions for assessing whether a draft is ready for publication.

Review Dimensions

Dimension Question Reference
Fact-check Are all factual claims verifiable? references/fact-checking.md
Voice audit Is the tone consistent throughout? references/voice-audit.md
Engagement Does the piece earn the reader's attention? references/engagement-review.md
Source integrity Are sources properly attributed and verified? references/source-integrity.md

Review Protocol

  1. Structural first, line-by-line last. Don't proofread until the structure is solid.
  2. Flag and suggest — don't rewrite. The editor identifies issues; the writer decides how to fix them.
  3. One dimension per pass. Don't mix fact-checking with voice audit in the same reading.
