Copyediting

Save time with fast and efficient copyediting

What is copyediting?

Copyediting involves refining sentences to ensure the language is clear, concise and grammatically correct. A copyedit also checks design, layout, tables, internal links and other elements.

How does copyediting work?

You provide us with your final draft document and we will copyedit it to ensure:

  • correct sentence structure
  • acronyms and technical terms are used correctly
  • non-discriminatory language
  • correct grammar
  • correct and consistent spelling
  • correct citations and references
  • consistent and correct formatting
  • compliance with your organisation’s writing style guide or the Australian Style Manual for Authors Editors and Printers.

When can you benefit from copyediting?

  • If your document is structurally sound but needs refining and polishing.
  • If your writing is difficult for others to understand.
  • If your written communications are not getting the results you need.
  • If you have tight deadlines and time does not allow for effective copyediting.
  • If you do not feel confident about English grammar.
