Our developmental editing services
Did you know that there are different levels of editing a text and different steps to the process? Editing is not as simple as only correcting the grammar and language and checking your sentence structure; those are usually the last steps in the process. In the first stage of editing, you will require more overarching edits—this is called developmental editing. No matter what stage you’re at when it comes to paper editing, Capstone Editing can assist you. Whether you have written a research paper or a full book, we have a comprehensive editing solution for you. We’re one of Australia’s most renowned providers of proofreading services. With a highly trained and experienced team of academics and developmental book editors at our service and our Quality Guarantee and On-Time Guarantee, you can be confident that choosing us to perform developmental editing on your text will raise it to the highest possible standard. (Please note that developmental editing is also known as substantive editing.)
What are developmental editing services?
The developmental stage of the editing process (also known as substantive editing) involves the big picture of a text. For academic or professional texts, this can include aspects like the structure and whether some sections should be moved or removed, and the strength and structure of your arguments and conclusions. In works of fiction, developmental book editors look at characters, dialogue, plot holes and story arcs, among other things. Your developmental editor will read your text and provide a thorough assessment of where and how it can be improved. After this stage, you can polish the sentence structure, word choice and grammar, and finish off by proofreading your text.

Contemporary feminist political economy and feminism as a sphere of analysis emerged through the women’s movement in the 1970’s. Feminist political economy is concerned with bringing women’s economic role and contributions to the fore. This was necessary as the two dominant theories—neoclassical economics and Marxian political economy—were seen as unable to provide a framework to consider how gender relates to the economy (Tong, 2009: 116). This short paper will outline why neoclassical economics continues to be incompatible with feminist political economy analyses. It will be argued that feminist political economy is not incompatible with Marxian political economy.
