Proofreading & Editing: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between copy editing and proofreading?
Copy editing improves sentences, consistency and accuracy. Proofreading is the final check for typos and layout errors before publication.
Do I need a developmental edit?
If you are unsure whether the structure, pacing or argument works, a manuscript assessment or developmental edit is the best place to start.
Will editing change my voice?
No. Good editing clarifies your writing. You review and accept or reject every change.
