I provide fast and accurate copyediting and proofreading services via hardcopy, Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Word using track changes.

Levels of Copyediting

  • spelling
  • capitalization
  • punctuation
  • hyphenation
  • abbreviation
  • grammar, syntax, usage

Also

  • query for clarification of terms likely to be new to readers
  • query factual inconsistencies or suspected errors

Medium Copyediting

Same as for light copyediting but add

  • query awkward passages and suggest revisions
  • query faulty organization and gaps in logic

Heavy Copyediting

Same as for medium copyediting but add

  • revise awkward, wordy passages
  • verify with desktop references and revise factual inconsistencies or suspected errors
  • query or fix faulty organization and gaps in logic
