Editorial Services

Basic editing including help with grammar, punctuation, structure, flow, and other elements of good writing. Work may be performed through snail mail, fax, or in Microsoft Word. In Microsoft Word, editing is done with the "track changes" feature. This feature will show "removed" material and "added" material in different colors, so you can readily see the editing.

Proofreading involves the correction of typographical errors, misspellings, punctuation errors and general formatting errors. Sometimes, proofreading consists of comparing two documents for correctness.

Copyediting additionally may include grammar, word usage, capitalization and format. Formatting includes correction of page numbers, headings, paragraphs, quotes, etc.
