Copyediting
Copyediting is the ultimate in getting a 'second pair of eyes' on your content.
If you've been staring at the same draft for weeks, words have lost all meaning, and you're starting to spell your name wrong - it's time for a copy editor.
I read relevant information and similar content so I have a grasp of your preferred tone of voice, and the background context.
I review and edit your content using MS Word’s tracked changes and provide specific guidance in comments for you to consider.
I review for:
- narrative flow, terminology consistency and ease of comprehension
- plain English and inclusive language
- tone and any 'eyebrow-raisers'
- formatting in keeping with your style guide/a style guide you nominate
- general grammatical errors and typos
- for structure, layout and best practice delivery in a digital format.
I provide a summary of edits and suggested improvements to help you get your content shipshape.
I'm quick with a red pen, and even quicker with tracked changes, so I can turn your content around fast when you're up against a deadline.
