Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written, visual, audible, and film media used to convey information through the processes of correction,  condensation, organization, and other modifications performed with an  intention of producing a correct, consistent, accurate, and complete  work.

The editing process often begins with the author's idea for the work itself, continuing as a collaboration between the author and the editor as the work is created. As such, editing is a practice that includes creative skills, human relations, and a precise set of methods.

There are many opportunities for editors to gain employment online and work right from their home offices for many internet companies.
