| Proofreading is taking care of the technical side of things – typos, grammatical hiccups, too many or too few spaces, apostrophe catastrophes, hyphens -vs- dashes, inconsistent fonts and sizes, punctuation overkill, etc. |
Editing is spotting the flaws in logic, unstrangling sentences, clearing ambiguities and generally polishing the text. It is the editor’s job to make the author look good. |
An exceptionally good editor must be able to re-write, where necessary, while maintaining the style and voice of the author. In addition to proofreading and editing, Text Perfection also provides this writing service. |
