I have been editing and proofreading text (my own and others) for many years; consequently, I have an eye for detail and correct format. As an editor, I will ensure that your text is error-free and ready for publication.
Copyediting
Copyediting includes the correction of spelling, grammar, usage, punctuation, and cross-references. It can also include clarity and continuity, fact checking, copyright and fair use, and standardization of formatting styles. Copyediting should be completed before the proofreading stage.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage of editing. It is the process of ensuring that the final draft is formatted correctly and free of typographical errors and inconsistencies. It does not include spelling, punctuation, or more complex writing advice as defined in the copyediting description. Proofreaders check reference lists and in-text citations, table of contents, section headings, widows and orphans, and figure titles.
