Copy editing takes place after a substantive edit but before proofreading. The objective of copy editing is to polish the copy so that it’s clear while retaining the author’s voice and meaning. Copy is defined as “matter to be printed,” and a copy editor is responsible for this polishing step. They comb through a written work to identify and correct: grammar, spelling, tone & style deviations, wordiness, clunky transitions, confusing syntax, probelmatic language, misused words, unevenflow, and more.
Billed by the hour. Purchasing this reserves the first hour plus a 15-minute consult to discuss the scope of the project and what you need.
