FAQs

  • What is the difference between copy editing and proofreading?

    Copy editing is a more comprehensive and in-depth process. It involves making revisions to improve clarity, flow, structure, and overall readability, in addition to fixing errors. Copy editors can suggest more substantial changes to the text, like reorganizing paragraphs, adding sections, or revising for style and tone. Proofreading has a more limited scope, focusing on catching surface-level errors like typos, misspellings, and inconsistencies in grammar, spelling, and formatting. Proofreaders focus on correcting objective errors and inconsistencies without making major changes to the content itself. Proofreading is the very last step before publication, after the text has been edited and formatted

  • How do you establish pricing?

    I price according to the number of words, whether you are looking for editing and/or proofreading, your goals as a writer, and how much work the document may need to address those goals. Pricing is typically set per project.
