What is the difference between proofreading and copyediting?
Copyediting is the second-to-last step in the editorial practice before publication. I help you improve clarity, readability, and flow of your work by reviewing and offering suggestions for:
Sentence structure
Correct word choice and word usage
Verb tense agreement
Consistency within text
Grammar errors that impact intention of writing
Minor content feedback
Proofreading is the last critical step in the editorial process before publication. I find and correct all technical flaws in your text including:
Correct spelling (American vs. British, capitalization)
Use of punctuation (apostrophes, commas, colons, end punctuation, hyphens, italics, quotation marks, semi-colons)
Proper grammar and syntax (misplaced modifiers, subject/verb agreement, pronouns and antecedents, sentence structure)
Repeated or missing words
Typos
Numbers
Transitions
Consistency of paragraph structure, layout, and formatting
