Editing.

I provide editing services across a range of categories:

  • substantive or developmental editing

  • copyediting

  • proofreading

  • other editing services.

Substantive editing looks at the document as a whole and involves reorganisation of text to improve language, logical flow and structure.

Copyediting focuses on grammar, spelling, punctuation, style and internal consistency.

Proofreading checks the the designed document for errors prior to publication.

Other editing services include:

  • formatting for accessibility

  • plain English editing

  • picture research

  • editorial training.

Different clients have different needs. Have a look at the links below to find out more about how I work with clients in your particular area.
