What is Copy Editing?
Copy Editing digs into each sentence on its own to make sure there are no errors. It’s a word-by-word mechanical edit. I make sure your manuscript isn’t riddled with bad grammar, spelling mistakes, or glaring inconsistencies.
This is the third process and is the third expensive of the four editing processes.
Here’s the list of what I’ll be looking for:
Word choice and syntax | Spelling and punctuation | Intensive grammar audit |
Consistency | Grammar | Spelling |
Hyphenation | Punctuation | Capitalization |
Syntax | Phrasing | …and more. |
