Whether it’s a client report, a published book or article, or a blog update—don’t let stilted writing or simple errors overshadow your message.
Editing: Editing services address your creative content and use of language to convey your message. Is your meaning clear and precise? Is the language fluid and pleasurable to read? Editing focuses on correcting such problems as run-on sentences, overused or extraneous words and phrases, redundancies, confusing or unclear language, unnatural phrasing and shifts in tone, and blandness. Suggestions may include changes to improve pacing, tighten sentences and paragraphs, and clarify or enhance your meaning.
Copyediting: Copyediting addresses flaws on a very detailed and technical level and should be done only after editing and rewriting is complete. A copyedit will correct errors in grammar, syntax, spelling, and punctuation. It will also ensure consistency in style throughout the document, including spelling, hyphenation, numerals, capitalization, and fonts. Copyediting services may also include light fact checking—flagging ambiguous, incorrect, or inconsistent statements.
Proofreading: Proofreading is the ultimate step for quality assurance, completed when the product is in its final form. A proofread is meant to catch typos, omissions, and awkward word or page breaks.
