Editorial Services That Elevate Your Work

Whether you’re preparing a manuscript for publication or refining business documents, I offer meticulous copyediting and proofreading services designed to enhance clarity, consistency, and impact—while preserving your unique voice.

 

🖋️ Copyediting: More Than Just Corrections

Copyediting goes beyond fixing typos. I can fine-tune your text to ensure professional polish and readability.

What I can do for you:

 

  • Style Consistency: Ensuring uniformity in tone, formatting, and content across your document. I can apply house-style guides or tailor one for you.

  • Clarity & Precision: Refining sentence structure for readability and flow, while preserving your intent.

  • Narrative Logic (for fiction): Spotting plot inconsistencies, character discrepancies, and pacing issues.

  • Fact-Checking: Verifying names, dates, places, and other factual references for accuracy.

  • Editorial Report and Style Sheet: You’ll receive a detailed summary with recommendations and a custom style sheet for future reference.

🔍 Proofreading: A Final Polish

Proofreading is the last line of defence before publication. I examine your text with forensic attention to detail to ensure error-free results.

What I check:

  • Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar: Correcting any errors in these areas.

  • Textual Consistency: Hyphenation, spelling variants, and formatting quirks.

  • Readability: Identifying awkward phrases or layout issues and offering improvements.

  • Layout & Structure: Ensuring consistency in headings, fonts, paragraph breaks, and page layout.

  • Cross-References & Citations: Verifying that references match footnotes, tables, illustrations, and the table of contents.

  • Final Queries: Any unresolved questions will be clearly flagged for discussion.
