Proofreading or copy-editing?

Proofreading is the final check on a document before it is published. It is the last opportunity for mistakes to be found and corrected. By contrast, editing begins at an earlier stage in the publishing process and is likely to involve much more serious changes to the text.

However, the distinction between the two processes can become blurred, especially when an individual is new to the publishing world and its terminology. Therefore, before undertaking any project, I will work with you to ensure that the job I do is exactly what you are looking for - whether it's proofreading, editing or something in between: proof-editing!
