Copy Editing

Copy editing is the part of the editing process that comes after content editing and line editing.

The primary goal is to maintain your voice. Your work should sound like you. The second goal of copy editing is to ensure that:

sentence structure (syntax) is accurate
word choice/useage helps the reader enjoy your writing
consistent language style is maintained
facts, names, and dates are accurate
tables, graphs, illustrations, and artwork are reflective of the text, and are accurate

Proofreading is the final piece to the editing process. It comes after copy editing, and sometimes after formatting.

The primary goal is to eliminate as many errors as possible, so that your reader is not distracted. Proofreading is a check for:
