What is copy-editing?

angeles — 4 July, 2008 - 21:17

Copy-editing consists in proofreading a text from a linguistic, grammatical, lexical and semantic point of view, paying special attention to its coherence, expression and structure. The objective is to adapt the text to the recipient and to the purpose for which it was initially created.

Within the publishing process, copy-editing should not be confused with proofreading, since the latter has a different objective and is carried out later.

It should not be confused with checking of content and editing either, since that task needs to be performed by an expert in the field.

It is important that you specify the type of proofreading or editing required. If you need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
