Copy-editing

Copy-editors look out for and prevent potentially embarrassing errors of fact, alert you to any possible legal problems and make sure that the typesetter/designer can do a good job.

As your copy-editor, I will:

• adjust the writing style so that it fits its target audience, if required;
• ensure clarity and consistency throughout the text;
• apply an existing house style or create a style sheet, if needed;
• suggest changes to figures, illustrations and tables, if needed;
• query you about unclear sentences and passages in the text;
• discuss any changes with you and agree with you on a final version of the text to be published.
