| Copy Editing |
|
Traditional copy editing for clarity and style. This is a rigorous application of standard rules of style and convention, with respect for authorial voice, including a critique of the document's overall effect.
|
| Proofreading |
|
Basic proofreading for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I will correct errors but leave document organization and style intact.
|
| Fact Checking |
|
Statements of fact are checked for accuracy. I will double check sources, data, and evidence, as well as their relevance, according to the author's needs.
|
| Indexing |
|
Creation of an index of key terms selected from the text.
|
| Double Checking |
|
A second reader will perform proofreading and basic copy editing to make sure no mistakes are missed.
|
| Document Return |
|
When copy-editing is finished, the completed document will be returned as a Word file with the "track changes" feature activated, so you can make the final decision on significant noteworthy changes.
