EDITING SERVICES
I offer professional services for all types of documents: theses, dissertations, books, blogs, newsletters, and corporate manuals and communications.
Contact me for the following services:
Copy editing ensures consistency in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, hyphenation, abbreviations, etc., and correcting any errors in grammar and usage.
Line editing, also called substantive editing, includes copy editing, plus ensures smooth transitions, corrects syntax errors, notes repetition, and suggests revisions for areas that are wordy or where the meaning is not clear.
Proofreading checks for any errors that still remain. This is the final review of documents that have already been edited.
Formatting is conforming theses and dissertations to your business’s or university’s requirements and style guides such as APA, CMOS (Chicago), Turabian, MLA, IEEE, and others. Formatting includes applying styles to headings, generating a table of contents, ensuring figures and tables are properly labeled, and checking the format of citations in the bibliography or list of references.
Indexing involves writing an index to your specifications.
Contact me so I can help you determine which services most meet your needs.
