Copyediting Service
Copyediting improves clarity, flow and consistency while respecting the author's voice and intent.
What Copyediting Covers
• Grammar, punctuation, and spelling
• Sentence flow and readability
• Awkward or unclear phrasing
• Wordiness and repetition
• Consistency in tone, style, and usage
• Basic structural clarity at paragraph level
• Style consistency as per your chosen style guide
Copyediting does not involve heavy rewriting, developmental editing, or major structural changes.
What You’ll Receive
- A careful, line‑by‑line edit
- Corrections marked clearly using tracked changes in a Word document
- A style-sheet if one was not supplied
- An editorial report highlighting any further issues
Is Copyediting Right for Your Project?
Copyediting is ideal if:
- You have completed developmental edits
- You have done a deep self-edit
- You have actioned the feedback from your beta readers
- You are happy with your word count and pacing
If you’re unsure whether your work needs copyediting, proofreading or beta reading, I’m happy to help you choose the right service, and I offer a free 1,000 word sample edit to help us gauge your editing requirements.
For this service I will focus on refining the language and structure of your writing so it reads smoothly, confidently and professionally, without rewriting or imposing a different style.
This service is for drafts that are complete but would benefit from careful refinement before final proofreading or submission.
