Copyediting
When copyediting, I focus on accurate spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax. I will also check for consistency in spelling, capitalization, font usage, numerals, hyphenation, and headings.
I will examine your manuscript for any continuity errors, factual errors, or inconsistencies in the story. The copy edit also entails correcting some minor formatting errors, if needed.
I also copyedit books that have been translated to English, ensuring that the translations are accurate.
Having worked with both American and Canadian authors, I am proficient in the style guides, as well as the spelling and punctuation rules, for both countries.
