How can I help?

Proofreading

You need a proofreader when you’ve completed your final draft, feel like it’s perfect, but need one last set of eyes on it to catch mistakes. Proofreading is the very last step in the editing process. I will check your project for:

  • Grammar

  • Punctuation

  • Misspellings

  • Incorrect word usage

  • Formatting

  • Compliance with style guide

Copy editing

Copy editing happens earlier in the writing process, prior to the proofreading stage. Unlike proofreading, some light rewriting suggestions may be made in the copy editing stage. Depending on the project, I may also develop a style guide. A copy edit will check for:

  • Spelling, punctuation, grammar, word usage

  • Clear sentence structure

  • Inconsistencies in content and style

  • Awkward phrasing

  • Readability
