Copy-editing/Language editing
1. This service includes everything covered in a Standard Proofread, plus the following:
-
Ensuring consistency in the wording
-
Rewriting where needed for clarity, coherence and conciseness
-
Application of a ‘house style’ (for example using a journal's style guide)
-
Creating chapter and section headings and a table of contents if needed
-
Checking the tone so it’s right for your intended readership
-
Checking the structure for order and logic
2. If you have paid for a copy-edit or language edit, but want me to:
-
Correct sections that I originally highlighted for re-writing, where you have not tracked or otherwise made your re-writes visible
-
Correct sections that I did not initially highlight for re-writing
-
Correct sections that I have already re-reviewed once
-
Correct new sections that you have added
Please note that this work will be chargeable at my hourly rate for re-reviews (rate code 6).
