Copy editing (includes proofreading)

Consistency, subtle changes and enhancing the text

• Consistency and discrepancies e.g. characters, facts, names, dates.

• Suggest subtle changes that will improve the clarity, readability and flow e.g. awkward language, phrasing, wordiness or jargon.

• Suggest changes to language and sentence structure which may appear confusing whilst taking into account the style, genre and intended audience.*

• Check links and accuracy of sources.**

*Unless specifically asked to, I don’t make substantial changes to text, plots, character development or story lines.

**I don’t check facts and accuracy of sources for academic work.
