Copy Editing / Proofreading Services



​ 

Copy Editing:

Copy editing is after your document has been reviewed by you and other writers working on the project. In this  step, I'll look for the following: 
  • Grammar
  • Spelling 
  • Tone and style inconsistency
  • Voice inconsistency
  • Wordiness
  • Missing or awkward transitions
  • Confusing tense
  • Problematic or misused words
  • Overused words
  • Uneven flow
​While reviewing your document, I'll make tracked editing suggestions so that you can ultimately decide what details to change. 

Proofreading:

Proofreading happens after copy editing and before publishing the works. This is a very detailed look at the mechanics of the writing and the overall pages and is your final step before printing. In this step, I'll look for the following: 
  • Grammar
  • Spelling 
  • Punctuation
  • Capitalization
  • Formatting - spacing & layout
​While reviewing your document, I'll make tracked editing suggestions so that you can ultimately decide what details to change.

Pricing:

Pricing can be set per page, per project, or per hour - depending on the project. Send me an email to discuss your specific editing needs and timeline.
