EDITING

Proofreading focuses on the overall presentation rather than the content of your project. In other words, proofreading is the final stage of the editing process that identifies small errors often missed or introduced during copyediting.

Our Proofreading services include:

• Overall layout review, including colors
• Punctuation review
• Identification of typos, missing words, and indentation inconsistency
• Formatting of heading and sub-headings, pagination, and fonts
• Image labeling review

Copyediting focuses on improving the flow of your text. This includes identifying and correcting punctuation errors and eliminating issues that interfere with a reader's engagement with your text.

Our Copyediting services include:

Soft-copy edits:

• Correction of grammar and syntax issues
• Punctuation corrections such as comma splices, apostrophes, and colon and semi-colon usage
• Identification of spelling mistakes, missing words, and incorrect word usage
• Review of tense shifts, treatment of numbers, and capitalization

Hard-copy edits:

• Review of descriptive inconsistencies, dialogue tags, and point-of-view issues
• Elimination of clichés
• Correction of odd phrasing and language usage

Developmental editing evaluates your project's overall structure and rhythm and identifies potential issues that interfere with the readability of your text. Recommendations often require significant changes but provide a more balanced and refined result.

Our Developmental editing services include:

• Review of the text's balance and organization
• Evaluation of language use and consistency
• Review of the text's voice, point-of-view, and suitability for the intended audience
• Writing style feedback
• Tense handling feedback
