Copy-editing


Copy-editing is the process that ensures the author clearly conveys their message to the reader. 

As well as checking for punctuation, spelling and grammar, a copy-editor looks at structure, consistency, flow, logic, context, and any contradictions or repetitions. 

A copy-editor also looks for writing issues such as non-standard or colloquial language, the influence of the author’s native language, and time and geographical validity. 

Proofreading

​
​Proofreading is the final stage of the writing process after all changes and rewriting are complete. 

A proofreader ensures that any indexes, headings, illustrations, captions, figures and references correspond to the content. 

A proofreader also corrects spelling mistakes, typos, grammar and punctuation, as well as checking for consistency of format, spelling, fonts, dates and numbering. 

Proof-editing


Proof-editing is a relatively new term introduced to describe the increasing requirement for a combined service of proofreading and copy-editing. 

Duckman Proofreading offers clients a fully comprehensive proof-editing service to combine all aspects of proofreading and copy-editing. 

Outside the publishing industry, this may be referred to as content editing and is the service that most of our clients actually require, making proof-editing our most popular service.
