2, publishing house audit stage

The publishing house is looking for an editor to check your work comprehensively and carefully. The main job is to check typos, ask questions about places you can't understand, and typeset. After this inspection, two inspections will be arranged, which will be edited and handled by superiors respectively. The so-called "three trials and three comparisons". From my experience, it takes a long time for the first check-up, and the next two are faster, but the total time is 2-3 months.
