Copy-editing

Proofreading is no substitute for thorough copy-editing, which involves pulling all the copy together and making sure it reads consistently and correctly: putting the reader first! Although including basic proofreading, its main focus is broader in scope:

  • Checking and correcting obvious errors in spelling and grammar
  • Eliminating errors of fact as far as the brief allows
  • Checking the progression of ideas or subjects is logical and reads clearly
  • Checking that headings, subheadings and their hierarchy works - likewise for tables and diagrams
  • Checking references are complete and cross-references are correct
  • Imposing consistency of spelling, capitalization, abbreviations etc, in accordance with a house style (whether exisitng or to be created)
  • Coding the text for the typesetter (and proofreader)
  • Providing a communication link between the writer, designer, typesetter, proofreader, project editor - whoever may be involved!


Whatever your needs,
FINETEXT can be tuned to the way you work.
