Copy
Editing
Copy editing is what most people think of as "proofreading," but it's a bit more than that. For book manuscripts, this means you have a full first draft, at least one beta reader has given you feedback, and you are ready to submit to a publisher but need a professional polish. For research articles, this means you have finished the first draft, and your purpose, structure, and logical flow are clear, but you need help cleaning up correctness (grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage), consistency, completeness, and accuracy. Your citations and references (and bookmarks and in-text hyperlinks) will be also edited for style and accuracy (APA, CMoS, IEEE, Harvard, inter alia), and I will make sure your paper conforms to your publication submission guidelines.
​
This is where a second pair of research-oriented eyes can correct and smooth your writing, and, invaluably, indicate where you may need to cite or better support a claim, provide a clearer context or more detail so readers (and reviewers) can understand your data----or get you back on track if you wander off the path.
Proofreading
If you have completed all reviews and revisions (your document has undergone structural, stylistic, and copy editing and is ready for publication), I will do a final check for minor mechanical errors, consistency of elements, and adherence to a style sheet or submission guidelines (such as word count and formatting). This will also include checking your in-text citations and references (APA, CMoS, IEEE, Harvard, inter alia).
Developmental
Editing
For writers who need more hands-on support, I provide structural, stylistic, and copy editing as a package. This may include reorganizing chapters, sections, paragraphs, and sentences as well as substantial rewriting for clarity. For this level of editing, you will have finished a first draft, but you may need help with clarifying your purpose, understanding the structure of your manuscript or paper, using linking for logical flow, adhering to paragraph unity, or with sentence or paragraph development. Extensive rewriting might be needed if English is not your first language.
