My proofreading and editing services
Basic proofreading: checking the supplied text for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, typography, capitalization, etc. If the supplied text is a translation, no crosscheck is made for accuracy against the original text.
Translation comparison + proofreading: as 'basic proofreading' above but the supplied (translated) text is also cross-checked for accuracy against the original text.
Editing: thoroughly proofreading the supplied text, and ensuring that its register is consistent, i.e. that the overall form and style of the language is appropriate and coherent throughout the text. The final text reads as if it had been written by an English native speaker.
