Creating clear and engaging copy while retaining the writer’s voice.
As a proofreader, I will comb through your laid-out text and correct the typos, misplaced punctuation, faulty grammar, and pagination errors that had gone unnoticed.
As a copyeditor, I will take the edits further—smoothing out awkward phrasing, flagging inconsistencies, and querying when things don’t make sense. Copyediting can range from light to heavy, depending on the material, schedule, and budget.
