Copy Editing
Copy editing is about making sure that text makes sense. It involves, where necessary, revising any areas that lack clarity, but without removing your voice or changing a meaning.
Our copy editing service will highlight:
- any spelling mistakes,
- any misuses of punctuation,
- any grammatical errors,
- any inconsistencies in style or layout,
- any content that does not follow a logical sequence,
- any potentially libellous statements, and
- any noticeable factual errors.
Copy editing rates:
£30 – £40 for the first 1,000 words of text submitted,
£20 – £30 per every 1,000 words thereafter.
Word count includes text in any tables, diagrams or other illustrations.
