What Copy Editing Covers

Our copy editing service thoroughly isolates and corrects the following elements of your writing's style, ensuring that the writing you publish is completely error-free.

  • Basic Grammar: We use multiple AI tools and natural human intelligence to catch inconsistencies in usage and grammar that are technically "allowable" but reduce readability. When you order copy editing, we also .
  • Spelling & Typos: We find and edit commonly overlook mistakes that aren't obvious, such as homonym substitutions (like they're/there), inconsistent capitalization (are you sure "Senator" should be capitalized in every instance?), and typographical errors ("typos") that AI routinely overlooks. 
  • Punctuation: There are multiple ways to improve a text that already has technically correct punctuation, but the chances are good that there's a misplaced comma, a period with an extra space before it, an inconsistent ellipsis, a period on the wrong side of a parenthesis, an incorrect semicolon, or all of these, somewhere in your writing. Our copy editing service fixes these errors and makes changes in cases when doing so will improve your manuscript's readability. (A parenthesis––for example––is sometimes less effective than a hyphen.)
  • Proofreading: While there is some overlap between proofreading and copy editing (remember, the result of our copy editing service is an error free draft), and while many traditional presses treat proofreading as a separate pass over the manuscript, our copy editing service includes a final proofreading pass for minor errors that, too often, go to press unnoticed.
