ABOUT TECH EDITING
The goal of tech editing is to help ensure the quality and presentation of your design and other written materials. A Tech Editor reviews the final pattern to ensure that it is clear and easy to follow by provide suggestions and comments for corrections to the pattern.
It is up to the designer to make the changes to the pattern based on those comments.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
1) Checking the overall pattern for format, style and consistency, such as:
• General proofreading including: checking font, punctuation errors, typos, etc.
• Ensuring that the pattern format meets the “house style” requirements for publication

• Suggest revisions if the instructions are unclear or awkwardly worded
