Copyediting |
Copyediting focuses on grammar, spelling, capitalisation, punctuation, hyphenation and overall consistency, without significant rewriting or restructuring. Copyediting either applies a consistent style to the text or ensures the text conforms to your existing style guide.
When I copyedit your text, you can expect all of the following to be checked and amended: grammar, syntax, spelling, punctuation, clarity of expression, capitalisation, hyphenation, abbreviations, expression of numbers and quantitative data, typography, heading hierarchy, page layout, figures, tables and captions, accuracy of dates, model numbers, quotations, and hypertext links. References are also checked for accuracy of cross-references within text, between text and figures, and between lists of contents and body of document, as well as conformity and completeness in textual and bibliographic references and quotations. |
