Copyediting & Proofreading

A professional writer can take your existing documentation and provide copyediting and proofreading services to polish it before printing.

Fresh eyes bring fresh perspective, then writing skill and expertise bring polish and clarity.

What is the difference between copyediting and proofreading?

Copyediting involves checking your document for errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and usage, ensuring consistency of style throughout the document, and clearing up confusing and awkward writing. It may require reorganization of content for clarity.  Copyediting should be done before the document is laid out. In most cases, copyediting should be followed by proofreading.

Proofreading is taking a last look at an edited document, re-checking grammar, spelling, punctuation, and possible inconsistencies. Proofreading is the final check, done after the document is laid out and before it is ready for print.
