Examples of Proofreading and Copy Editing
Proofreading: this is when I correct your grammar, spelling, choice/translation of words and your punctuation.
Copy editing: this is when I choose more appropriate words and expressions to make your writing sound more formal, more academic and more like a native speaker. Let’s have a look at some examples of each. Are these the kinds of mistakes you make? If so, go to the homepage and click on Proofreading.
The proofreading process is very simple. You send the document that needs reviewing and I will return it with all my proposed changes highlighted, so you can understand what I have done. Please scroll down to see an actual example.
Some final points about your written English: You need to think about the quality of your written academic English. Every student, every nationality has their “favourite mistakes”. However, getting a good grade for your writing is not just about avoiding mistakes; it is about choosing the most appropriate register [formal/informal], using the best words/phrases to connect ideas and using set expressions/collocations [words that go together] in order to express yourself as clearly as possible.
