Proofreading & Editing Services

We all want to be able to convey our ideas clearly.

The best writing, the kind you see in books, academic journals, scientific papers, books, screenplays, etc. is a team effort. It’s difficult to write clearly, succinctly, and precisely. So writers routinely work with copy editors and proofreaders to perfect their work.

Main Services

01.

Copy Editing

There are two main types of copyediting, substantive and mechanical, and it’s important to understand the differences. Substantive editing entails making large structural changes to the document as a whole and is less concerned with details. That is not the type of service I provide.

I focus on mechanical editing which encompasses both copy editing and proofreading. The focus is on the final details and polish to really make your document stand out and shine. During the copy-editing service we’ll be working together through:

Corrections to spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Adjusting sentences for clarity
Addressing inconsistencies in tone, formatting, style, etc.
Optimizing word choice
Ensuring the document adheres to the chosen style guide or publishing requirements

02.

Proofreading

Proofreading services entail putting the final touches on a writing piece. This generally occurs after a document has been through the copy-editing phase. It is an essential part of the writing process to ensure that the quality is at its best, there are no lingering mistakes, and that spelling and grammar are perfect. These errors may seem like details, but will impact legibility and enough of them can even call into question the credibility of the document. Proofreading ensures your document meets the high standards your readers deserve.

During the proofreading service we’ll be working together through:

Punctuation, grammar, spelling, and capitalization errors
Formatting and font issues
Inconsistencies in the document relating to any of the above
