COPY-EDITING

What is copy-editing? Copy-editing is the process of refining written material to improve its clarity, accuracy, consistency, and overall quality. It goes beyond basic proofreading, which primarily focuses on correcting surface-level errors like typos and misspellings.

​

​

Copy-editing delves deeper, addressing issues such as grammar, punctuation, style, tone, sentence structure, word choice, and factual accuracy. A skilled copy-editor ensures that the text is not only grammatically correct but also effectively communicates its intended message to the target audience. They act as a critical eye, ensuring the writing is clear, concise, engaging, and consistent with the client's brand and style guidelines.

• Consistent in Style and Tone

Maintains a uniform voice and style throughout your document, enhancing brand consistency and professionalism.

 

• Effective in Communication

Ensures your message resonates with your target audience and achieves its intended purpose.

 

• Optimised for Readability

Improves the flow and structure of your text, making it engaging and easy to read.
