Last Minute Proofing - Copy-editing

Copy-editing

Like proofreading, copy-editing involves checking for correct spelling and grammar, however copy-editing is much deeper in its scope. Layout is extensively analysed and alternative styles recommended if necessary; everything from headings and paragraphs to figures and tables. The complete structure of the work is overhauled to ensure it is as concise and clear as possible. References are also checked, making sure that they have been made correctly, according to your recommended style guide.
