Copyediting addresses a document’s accuracy, clarity and consistency.
In addition to proofreading your content, our service includes providing feedback on:
- clarifying unclear passages of content
- optimising tables, diagrams and images
- subjectivity, bias and references to gender and marginalised groups
- use of active/passive voice.
For websites, where content is not accessed linearly, we will also ensure that the:
- content integrates into context whilst web pages make sense independently
- content is expressed as a singular source of truth
- site structure makes sense from a user perspective.
If significant passages need re-writing, we will contact you to discuss a rate for copyediting/substantive editing services.
