EDITING SERVICES
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final check before your writing is complete and ready for publication.
Your first (or latest) manuscript is almost ready for printing, and your digital proof needs a final review. You're excited to find a new job and don't want typos or misspellings on your cover letters and resumes. You need a proofreader.
A PROOFREADER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP ERRORS IN:
-
Spelling
-
Punctuation
-
Grammar and usage
-
Basic formatting
-
Basic style or consistency
Copy Editing
Copy editing is a more in-depth review and is done before the work is prepared for publication.
If you write for a website or blog and want to bolster your portfolio with published writing samples, you need a copy editor. If you're a freelance writer or self-published author, the technical perspective of a copy editor will enhance your work.
A COPY EDITOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR:
-
Ensuring content follows particular style guidelines
-
Revisions for flow, structure and consistency
-
Fact checking
-
Proper tense, voice and word choice
-
Following grammatical rules
-
Initial proofreading
