CopyeditingCopyediting is most useful when you have a completed manuscript but before you have spent money and time putting it into its final format for publication.
During a basic copyedit, I will focus on areas such as:
|
Who uses my copyediting service? - Academic authors - Independent fiction authors - Independent non-fiction authors - Publishers |
ProofreadingProofreading is the last check that takes place when your manuscript has been developed, edited and typeset and is in its final form, ready for publication.
Proofreading is an important and distinct stage in the publishing process. During proofreading, I will focus on areas such as:
|
Who uses my proofreading service? - Academic authors - Independent fiction authors - Independent non-fiction authors - Publishers |
Proof-editingProof-editing is a combined service that is useful for written content that is not intended for formatting and publication in book format.
Many businesses, charities and associations produce written content such as newsletters, websites, advertisements, plans and reports, marketing and promotional materials, website text, blog posts, newsletters, educational materials and CPD materials. My typical (and often regular) users of this service have knowledge and expertise in their areas of work, but they find that having their work professionally edited and proofread really makes a difference to how it appears when it reaches its intended audience. |
Who uses my proof-editing service? - Businesses - Charities - Professional associations - Individuals - Anyone who publishes online content |
