Copy Editing
As your copy editor, I am your fresh set of eyes. I’m removed enough from the text to catch and query items that may have been overlooked in the writing process. I copy edit manuscripts in Microsoft Word (track changes).

-correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and usage while preserving the voice and meaning of the original text. -reading for overall clarity and sense on behalf of readers. -querying apparent errors or inconsistencies. -cross-checking references, figures, etc. for consistency throughout the text. -checking for and implementing a consistent style and format. -adhering to your preferred style/house style. -creating a style sheet to document editing decisions not covered in your preferred style guide. |
Proofreading
As your proofreader, I’m the last set of editorial eyes in the publishing process. At this stage, I review the text for items that may have been overlooked during editing or introduced during layout. I proofread manuscripts in hard copy form, Microsoft Word (track changes), and Adobe Reader.
Please note that your manuscript should only be proofread once it has been thoroughly copy edited.
