Choose Geoprevis who will do a great job for you! :) Editing, proofreading (also called “proofing”) and copyediting are often assumed to be the same thing — but they’re not. Are you looking for someone to improve the style and flow of your writing, or do you simply want someone to ensure that your commas are in the right places? Editing When hiring a freelance editor, youre hiring someone to review and change your text with the intent to improve the flow and overall quality of your writing. An editor has the freedom to remove entire sentences or rewrite entire paragraphs. A good editor will correct any obvious errors they come across, but their main goal is to use their expertise and intuition to ensure the document makes sense, cut down on wordiness, and clarify any ambiguity. Proofreading is the process of examining the final draft of a document or text — after it has been edited — to ensure there are absolutely no errors. A proofreader will review for spelling errors, punctuation errors, typos or incorrect use of regional English. For important proofreading, you will want to hire an experienced freelancer with the the ability to find even the smallest grammatical errors that others might normally dismiss. Hiring a proofreader is particularly helpful if you’re not confident in your writing, or if English is not your first language. To copyedit a document is to proofread it — with the added expectation of ensuring style consistency with other content from the company or publication. Copyediting is also known as sub-editing in the UK, Australia and elsewhere. An editor Rewrites sentences and paragraphs for flow Makes the text clearer and more understandable Uses their specialized knowledge to clarify and improve text A proofreader Goes beyond spellcheck to catch errors a computer might miss Ensures zero grammatical errors, usually after a document has already been edited A copyeditor (or “sub-editor”) Proofreads, with an added expertise in ensuring style consistency appropriate to a publication or organization
