Copyediting

Grammar, punctuation, usage, consistency and style refinement while preserving author voice.

THE PROAUTHORS APPROACH

What this service covers

Copyediting provides a careful language-level review before a manuscript moves toward publication. It addresses grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage and consistency while respecting the author's intended meaning and established style.

Copyediting — What We Focus On

  • Grammar, punctuation, spelling and sentence correctness
  • Consistency in names, dates, terminology, capitalisation and style
  • Usage, awkward constructions and avoidable language errors
  • Application of an agreed style sheet or editorial conventions

Careful editing with your voice in mind

A professional copyedit helps remove distractions that can weaken reader confidence. Queries are raised where meaning is unclear or a change could affect your intent, keeping editorial decisions transparent throughout the process.

$0.020 per word

The final fee is calculated from the manuscript word count and the agreed level of copyediting.
