- Correct punctuation
- Correct nonverbal dialogue tags (“I don’t care what you do,” he shrugged.)
- Make style consistent: spelling, capitalization, hyphens, dashes, italics, ellipses, etc.

- Verify basic facts (i.e., geography, dates, accuracy of plot timeline)
- Flag tracking/continuity problems
