As a developer/copyeditor, I edit manuscripts for organization, structure, appropriateness of coverage for audience, grammar, spelling, clarity, punctuation, and adherence to both the For Dummies brand guidelines and the Chicago Manual of Style. I work with authors to develop the table of contents. I also format chapters for production in Microsoft Word.
