Copyediting
Improvements for accuracy, nuance, concision, and natural expression.
Sentence-level rewrites to improve clarity, reduce ambiguity, and remove unnecessary repetition.
Checks of key details such as names, dates, titles, authors, and cited works.
Light edits to improve transitions and connections, so the writing reads smoothly from one idea to the next.
Tone refinements to suit your context, whether academic, business, creative, or another style altogether.
Consistent spelling, punctuation, capitalisation, formatting, and style choices.
All edits visible in red so you can review every change, from small corrections to sentence-level refinements.
I leave clear comments in the document when your input may be helpful, giving you the chance to clarify meaning, confirm details, or choose between possible phrasings.
Revised PDF plus a Word/Pages document with tracked changes and comments.
Copyediting is ideal when your text has a solid argument or structure in place, but needs closer attention to clarity, tone, flow, expression, and consistency.


Understanding the boundaries of copyediting.
Copyediting does not include substantial reordering, rewriting, or reshaping of sections.
I do not add new content or carry out extensive research beyond pinpoint fact-checking.
Layout design, typesetting, and complex document formatting are not included unless agreed separately.
What copyediting improves, and when it is the right level of editorial support.
