Copy Editing

The copy editing service includes…

  • proofreading (correction of errors in spelling, grammar, etc.)
  • removal of repetition and redundancy
  • rewording of awkward text
  • minor restructuring
  • rephrasing to clarify key points

At your request, I can also…

  • format the text (ensuring consistency in type face(s), line spacing, text sizing, etc.)
  • format the headings and create a dynamic contents page
  • create a dynamic list of tables and figures
  • generate a list of abbreviations used in the text

I use Microsoft Word’s track changes tool, so you can easily assess all my edits.

I also provide comments on any recurring issues in the writing (spelling, grammar, style, syntax, etc). In this way, I hope to provide a service that also helps you to improve your future writing.

This service costs 2p per word (£20 for 1,000 words).
