proofreading

I offer proofreading and copyediting of English texts.

Proofreading is a final check on a text for errors. Errors can include typos, formatting, punctuation, grammar, repetition, and any other errors that may have been incorporated into the text during writing or editing. Proofreading involves reading the entire text to check for errors, but does not involve changing the text stylistically. Copyediting involves a more intensive approach to the text, and allows for stylistic changes.

I can receive text for proofreading and copyediting in various formats, although there are considerations relating to the way you would like to receive corrections.

- In Word, changes may be tracked using the tracking tool.
(Suitable for proofreading or copyediting.)
- In PDF, changes can be indicated using the commenting tools.
(Suitable for proofreading.)
- Printed text can be annotated by hand, then returned by post or scanned and emailed. (Suitable for proofreading or copyediting.)

I also offer QA (Quality Assurance) on websites and other web formats. This includes both proofreading and a full check on functionality.

I proofread and copyedit British English and also offer editing from US into British English.
