Copy Editing

Once you have all your thoughts in order, laid out and organized how you want them, it’s time to check that everything is correct, complete, and consistent throughout.

Want more information before you get a quote? Here are the details on some of the ways I can help you with a copy edit:

  • Mechanical issues within the writing; this covers everything from errant commas to misused homonyms.
  • Internal consistency; do the dates you mention shift or do characters physical traits change part way through a narrative?
  • Copyright; is there any content you’ve used that you need permission for?
  • Style; this covers everything from ensuring rules from a style guide have been followed to making sure that headers have matching styles of language to creating a style sheet to keep everyone on the same page.
  • Completeness; is everything you’ve written on the page, or has something accidentally been extracted in the course of other editing?
