Proofreading and Copyediting

If you are looking for someone with an eye for detail to check that your text is error-free and flows well, then my proofreading and copyediting services are perfect for you. As well as monolingual English documents, I am also able to revise texts which have already been translated from French or Spanish. In the past, I have had experience of revising texts from a range of subject areas, which have included event planning websites, educational textbooks for children, and informative leaflets on renewable energies. Not sure which service is best for you? Take a look below to find out more about the difference between proofreading and copyediting:

Proofreading

My proofreading service is suitable for businesses and individuals who require a final read-through of their texts, in order to ensure that there are no mistakes. As part of this service, I correct surface-level errors such as:

  • spelling and punctuation

  • syntax and grammar

  • internal inconsistencies

  • stylistic elements such as citations, page numbers and line spacing

Copyediting

My copyediting service involves a more in-depth correction process which aims to improve the overall readability of a text, while also making sure that the voice of the original author is respected. As well as checking for surface-level errors, this service includes:

  • rewording sentences and phrases to remove any ambiguities or confusing syntax

  • ensuring that the register and tone of a text is suitable for its target audience

  • restructuring the paragraphs and layout to ensure that a text follows a logical order

  • checking facts such as dates, names, acronyms, and official terms
