What’s the difference between hiring me to copyedit your manuscript and hiring me to proofread it?
When copyediting, I improve the clarity, readability and flow of your manuscript while ensuring it’s free of grammatical errors, plot oversights, and inconsistencies.
When proofreading, I review the final draft of your manuscript to ensure consistency and accuracy in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Copyediting is more involved and time-consuming and will naturally cost more than proofreading. However, it also covers much of the work of a proofread, although once all suggested changes have been dealt with it’s always a good idea to have a fresh set of eyes look over the finished article.
Still not sure which service you need? Get in touch to discuss your project. I’ve been copyediting and proofreading for independent authors for well over a decade and will be happy to point you in the right direction.
