I provide the following services: • copyediting • fact checking • AI content editing • ensuring documents adhere to guidelines of the selected referencing style • compiling bibliographies/reference lists • indexing • document formatting • proofreading A quick note on the differences between copyediting and proofreading: A. The objective of copyediting is to make your writing is error free and easy to read. To achieve this, I: • correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors • ensure stylistic consistency throughout your writing • check that the appropriate tone for your document type is maintained throughout • propose suggestions to improve word choice and phrasing • highlight passages that may require your attention to improve clarity • query facts and statements that seem incorrect • provide feedback in my comments Since time and money are always an issue, feel free to use the accompanying table as a guideline to decide what level of copyediting you would like. B. Although many copyeditors are good proofreaders, and all copyeditors are expected to catch typographical errors, the two have different functions. Copyeditors work on an author's manuscript and are concerned with imposing mechanical consistency; correcting infelicities of grammar, usage, and diction; and querying internal inconsistencies of fact or tone. Proofreaders, in contrast, are charged with correcting errors introduced during the typesetting, formatting, or file conversion of the final document and with identifying any serious errors that were not caught during copyediting. Please note: 1. I am not a ghost writer, but a developmental/copyeditor and proofreader; 2. I am not a graphic designer/illustrator.
