Copyediting and Proofreading

I provide fast and accurate copyediting and proofreading services via hardcopy, Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Word using track changes.

Levels of Copyediting

Light Copyediting

Correct errors in

• spelling
• capitalization
• punctuation
• hyphenation
• abbreviation
• grammar, syntax, usage

Also

• query for clarification of terms likely to be new to readers
• query factual inconsistencies or suspected errors

Medium Copyediting

Same as for light copyediting but add

• query awkward passages and suggest revisions
• query faulty organization and gaps in logic

Heavy Copyediting

Same as for medium copyediting but add

• revise awkward, wordy passages
• verify with desktop references and revise factual inconsistencies or suspected errors
• query or fix faulty organization and gaps in logic
