Proofreading.
The last pass before publication. I will clean up mechanical errors overlooked throughout the writing process. A proofread addresses issues with:
● grammar
● spelling
● punctuation
● capitalization
● formatting (header consistency, page numbers, links, etc.)
● on-page layout (placement of visual assets like charts, tables, and images)
● spelling
● punctuation
● capitalization
● formatting (header consistency, page numbers, links, etc.)
● on-page layout (placement of visual assets like charts, tables, and images)
While I always strive to catch other errors that may have slipped through, proofreading does not focus on elements such as word choice or sentence flow.
Copy Editing.
When copy editing, I go further than mechanical errors to polish the text on a sentence and paragraph level. Flow, sentence structure, and word usage are refined while maintaining the author's voice and message. I will address:
● grammar
● spelling
● punctuation
● capitalization
● formatting consistency
● clarity
● flow (wordiness and clunky phrasing)
● tone and style consistency
● problematic or misused words
● fact-checking for internal consistency within the writing
