Copyediting
Services include:
- working in your Word document with track changes on so you can see all changes and agree or disagree as you please, OR working on the hard copy of your document and using standard proofreading marks.
- checking for correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
- making your document readable by reading for clarity and consistency.
- using the house style guide for your publisher (if you have one) and/or the Chicago Manual of Style.

- creating a style sheet to go with your document (if applicable).
- placing style tags on electronic documents (if you publisher would like that).
Proofreading
Services include:
- working on your electronic Word document, a PDF, or hard copy to mark all changes. If electronic Word document, I will use track changes so you can see all corrections. If PDF, I will use the marking features. If hard copy, I will use standard proofreading marks.
- marking spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.
- marking typographical errors (if typeset pages), and checking for font consistency, bad breaks, and stacks.
