FAQS about our Editing Services
What’s the difference between proofreading and copy-editing?
Copy-editing includes checking written material for grammar, spelling, style, and punctuation issues before it’s prepared for proofreading. A copy editor may also do a rewrite, if necessary, to fix any problems with transitions, wordiness, jargon, and to ensure the style of the piece fits with the publication. This work is known as revision.
When the material is nearly a finished product, meaning it has been edited, the proofreader searches for typographical errors. The proofreader works with a finished product, or a proof (hence the term proofreading). Proofreaders look for minor text and formatting errors and confirm the material is ready for publication.
What do you look at when you edit?
This is the process in which the Copy Editor dots the i’s and crosses the t’s of your document. Copy editing is a process that ensures that text is correct in terms of spelling, grammar, jargon, punctuation, terminology, semantics and formatting. Copy editing also ensures that the idea the writer wishes to portray is clear and easy to understand.
How will I know what you have changed on my document?
When we go through your document, we stikethrough an error. All text that we have modified is underlined. Additions made by our editors as well as erased words are red in colour. Finally, comments are displayed in comments that are linked to the text. Ultimately, we clean-up the document and share with you the one with highlighted errors and suggested changes as well as the final, cleaned document. Your clean version of your document contains exactly the same edited content as the tracked version but does not contain any editing marks.
