Proofreading and Copy Editing

Proofreading is literally the first and last line of defense for your content. It's the process of catching those tiny mistakes that slip through the cracks, like misplaced commas, awkward phrasing, or typos. Though copy editing goes deeper and revises sentence structures, flows, and styles, proofreading gives your work that final polish so it's publication-ready.

Copy editing is an exercise that steps further back and looks at your writing in a more holistic perspective. It's all about making your content read well, be consistent, and correctly convey your message. Be it an article, a report, or a book, this process makes good writing great.

The difference between proofreading and copy editing is subtle but crucial. Both are necessary to make your content stand out. If you want your words to not just exist but engage and inspire, it’s worth investing in both. Proofreading catches what your eyes miss, and copy editing shapes your ideas to resonate.

At A Paige Works, we’re here to help you get it just right, and why we include both editing styles in this package.
