Help with my novel

Editing, proofreading (also called “proofing”) and copy editing are often assumed to be the same thing — but they are not. Are you looking for someone to improve the style and flow of your writing, or do you simply want someone to ensure that your commas are in the right places? In publishing, it is typically understood that a document that has been edited will still need to be proofed. An editor is often hired for their individual style or specialization in a particular subject area, but if you are looking for someone to go through a text with a fine-tooth comb, you need to find a proofreader or copy editor. An editor has the freedom to remove entire sentences or rewrite entire paragraphs. A good editor will correct any obvious errors they come across, but their main goal is to use their expertise and intuition to ensure the document makes sense, cut down on wordiness, and clarify any ambiguity. Proofreading is the process of examining the final draft of a document or text — after it has been edited — to ensure there are absolutely no errors. A proofreader will review for spelling errors, punctuation errors, typos or incorrect use of regional English (i.e. ensuring that you’re using American English or British English when necessary). With years of experience of editing & proofreading, I have the ability to assure you about excellent grammatical proficiency in your text. Regards, Battiston
