PROOFREADING & COPY EDITING
Copy Editing
During a copy edit we will help improve the readability and overall quality of your document.
During the copy editing process we will:
-
Rewrite for audience suitability
-
Provide sentence level editing
-
Check usage of tense
-
Provide fact checking
-
Layout checking
-
Chapter sequencing
-
Check spelling, grammar and punctuation
-
Suggest improvements to your document
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final read-through before publishing to find any typos or errors that might have been missed. No major changes will be made to your document at this point.
During a proofread we will look for things such as:
-
Spelling, punctuation and grammar errors
-
Correct page and table numbering
-
Layout check
-
Style inconsistencies
What we can proofread & edit?
We can edit in UK or US English, and you can submit a 500 word document for a sample edit.
We can edit on screen in Microsoft Word using Track Changes, or on a hard copy using BSI markup symbols. You will also be provided with a style guide sheet and we use the Guardian Style Guide unless instructed otherwise.
