Copyediting includes a full review of the content at the sentence level, focusing on language, style, structure, and accuracy in both facts and grammar.

​Proofreading is a final check for surface-level errors before publication. This sentence-level editing is focused on formatting, spelling, grammar, and fine details.

Relying on an AI tool for proofreading is tempting, but algorithms can only catch so much without understanding the context, tone, and voice of a piece of writing.

For example, AI will not catch the misspelling of a person's name, homonyms, inconsistencies in time and place, and verb tense or formatting issues, to name just a few.

Ultimately, AI can be used to help improve writing as a whole, but the feedback of a human proofreader for more nuanced errors and personalized feedback is most beneficial.

​Also, remember that once you upload your writing into an AI tool, it is added to the catalog of works AI will use to create "new" works, so it is no longer 'your' work per se.  

I proofread, create, and edit books/manuscripts, business documents, brochures, advertisements, website content, and more. If it's the written word, I can help ensure your work is as error-free as possible, in tone, voice, and context.

My turnaround time will vary depending on the length and complexity of the work required and is dependent on our contract,  but I will strive to meet your deadlines and accommodate rush requests, whenever possible, for an additional fee. For example, proofreading a 200 page document will take approximately 40 hours at a rate of 5 pages per hour.
