Copy Editing
Copy editing involves reviewing the content for flow, readability, clarity, appropriateness for the target
audience, consistency, and overall organization and structure. Tasks that may be included are: revising grammar,
spelling, and punctuation; checking facts; querying and making suggestions about additions, deletions, lists, and
display elements (e.g., tables, charts); and adhering/contributing to house style guidelines. Clients can choose
from three levels of copy editing, from light to heavy, with options of combining elements of each or
selecting their own preferences. Or they can discuss other options.

Proofreading
Proofreading involves checking for typos, missing and repeated words, and other errors and inconsistencies.
Tasks that may be included are: checking the inputting of editors’ and authors’ corrections; double-checking
formatting, spacing, pagination, placement of display elements, punctuation, headers, and footers; and spell
checking. Click here for a more detailed description. Or they can discuss other options.

Rates
The level of service, project type, number of editing and/or proofreading review cycles, researching/fact
checking needed, client budget, and several other factors affect the cost. If the scope of the work changes
during the project, I will discuss options and anticipated cost adjustments before continuing.
