When I'm editing I would typically fix typos, grammar, punctuation, inconsistencies, awkward wording, misuse of words, continuity errors, wrong names or obvious mistakes (such as the hero having blue eyes in one spot and brown eyes in another).
I also point out anything I find problematic, such as: plot points that I don't think work, holes in plot, details that are skimmed over that readers might want, timeline issues, places where you've swapped POV suddenly, places where you've used too much description (or not enough) or where the story lags. Where I'm able to, I will offer suggestions for fixes for these problems.
All manuscripts are read twice—usually once by me and once by a colleague.
