copyediting

How will copyediting improve my work or project?

When we copyedit your work we will be checking that:


spelling, punctuation and grammar are correct

your text makes sense;

the writing suits your target audience;

headings are appropriate and consistent in style;

text is organised clearly (I can suggest changes with regard to layout and design of your work);

references, figures and tables that are cited have been included, and are in the right places;

information given is factually accurate;

there is consistency in general style, eg that all headings are in bold, place names in italics, etc;

copyright and libel laws have not been infringed;

any relevant 'house style' is followed.
