Great writing isn’t just about putting words on a page - it’s about refining them. Editing is where the real magic happens, transforming rough drafts into polished, compelling content. Without careful editing, even the best ideas can get lost in cluttered prose or weak messaging. At Version A, we take the editorial process seriously, following a structured, newsroom-style approach with three key steps: drafting, copy editing, and proofreading. This ensures that each piece goes through multiple revisions to enhance clarity, structure, and impact. Similarly, in his book The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing, former editor of New York magazine Adam Moss breaks the creative process into three phases: imagining, judging, and shaping. While these appear to mirror our process at Version A, the judging phase isn’t the same as copyediting. The judging phase is when the real transformation happens. This is when writers subjectively assess their work and refine it. As you might have guessed, this takes time, which is why we allow ample time for the drafting phase in our process.? Then, it’s time for the copy editor to step in and do their version of judging. Copy editors play a critical role in this phase by asking four key questions: 1. Does the narrative flow logically? A great piece of writing should have a clear, cohesive structure. Editors ensure the story makes sense, supporting points are well-developed, and ideas connect smoothly. 2. Is the right amount of creativity included? Creativity makes content engaging, but it needs balance. Editors assess whether data, anecdotes, or storytelling elements enhance the message without overwhelming it. 3. Are key messages clearly conveyed? Every piece should align with the company’s goals and target audience. Editors verify that messaging is effective, relevant, and in line with the creative brief. 4. Does every word serve a purpose? Concise writing is powerful. Editors remove fluff and unnecessary words to keep the content sharp and impactful. Our editorial process has proven time and again that strong writing comes from collaboration. Writers bring expertise and creativity, while editors refine and elevate the content. Together, they ensure that every piece is not just good, but exceptional. What does the editorial process look like on your team? What works and what could use some refinement?
