Head full of ideasThe level of copyediting service depends on the client’s needs for that particular project, and can range from collaborating on thought organization to proofing the word-final galley. We help clients identify their target audience, and then facilitate their relationship with that audience.

We offer a wide range of copyediting feedback, including but not limited to the following:

  • Proofreading
  • Formal academic style
  • Word choice, syntax, spelling, and punctuation
  • Proper use of citations, missing citations, and formatting of the reference list or bibliography
  • Table and figure/illustration creation and formatting
  • Organization, flow, and reader comprehension/confusion
  • Advice and suggestions throughout the writing process from seed idea through final polishing

During the drafting and editing process, we give the reader a voice through comments like „As a reader, I want to know more about this…” and „As written, this is a big claim that isn’t supported for me as a reader. Explain/support it here, or move it to the discussion later where it can rest on the full argument you develop through the piece.” This reader-based approach provides a logic for the requested changes that is more likely to stay with the client and inform their writing in the future.
