About this Gig
WHAT WE DO IN COPY EDITING
Copy editing focuses on refining the mechanics, clarity, consistency, and correctness of written text before publication.
The core areas we fix are as follows:
1. MECHANICS & LANGUAGE RULES
Grammar and Syntax: Fixing misplaced modifiers, dangling participles, subject-verb agreement issues, and tense shifts.
Punctuation and Spelling: Correcting commas, semicolons, quotation marks, apostrophes, and typos.
Capitalization and Hyphenation: Applying uniform rules for titles, proper nouns, and compound words.
2. THE FIVE Cs OF COPY EDITING
Clarity: Unravelling confusing, vague, or awkward sentences so the reader easily understands the meaning.
Correctness: Ensuring proper language usage and flagging potential factual, date, or numeric errors.
Consistency: Maintaining internal uniformity in spelling, terms, abbreviations, character traits, timelines, and formatting (often tracking via a project style sheet).
Concision: Removing redundant words, filler phrases, and unnecessary wordiness without altering the author's voice.
Coherence: Checking logical flow, paragraph transitions, and structural readability.
Etc, etc.
