Copy editing
​​
A copy editor may review for clarity and readability as well as flow, grammar, word usage, spelling, and punctuation.
​
They read your writing to focus on syntax, word repetition, and sentence/paragraph length.
​
A professional copy editor also corrects grammar or spelling errors, fixes punctuation, and makes suggestions as needed.
​
Copy editing is all about polishing language.
It focuses on correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style.
The goal is to make sure the writing is clear, consistent, and error-free.
Think of it as giving the text a final polish before it’s ready for the world.
​

Proofreading
​​
Proofreading is the last part of the writing and editing process.
​
​Checks for anything missed in the copy edit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
The final stage of editing is proofreading.
​
A professional proofreader finds and fixes the last few issues in a document.
The proofreader makes sure that the spacing between sentences is consistent, typos are eliminated and other remaining issues are resolved.
Proofreading is the act of reviewing and fixing errors within the final draft of your writing to make sure the grammar, spelling, punctuation, and format are consistent and accurate.

NOT MINE​
​
​​Whether you need basic proofreading or extensive copy editing,
​
​Having someone else read your piece. When it comes to things like flow, clarity and word choice it really is good to get a second opinion.
​
​​
​
Working with inspiring people on their unique projects
and ideas affirms for me the value of connecting with others through mutually meaningful work

​Early in my career, I became the editorial assistant for an art research and publishing project in London. Working closely with the late David Sylvester (British curator and art critic), I went on to assist him with his independent writing work and later supported his writing and editing of the monograph of Belgian surrealist artist, René Magritte.
