Sphera Editing Services offers several types of proofreading:

• Content editing.
• Copy-editing.
• Proofreading.
• Proofreading and copy-editing.
• Checking of translations.

Both the working method and the delivery of the final document will depend on the type of customer and on the type of proofreading requested:

• In the case of printing and publishing houses and upon customer's request: we work both with marks on original manuscripts and on screen (by activating the “track changes” option) in order to speed up the process. You may request a partial service (editing, copy-editing or proofreading for instance) or a complete service (editing, copy-editing, proofreading and second proofreading if applicable). Final documents will be delivered according to the option previously agreed (i.e. working on paper or screen). We will carry out our job according to the style guides provided or to the guidelines agreed with the customer.
• In the case of private customers, and unless advised otherwise, we will hand in the proofread final document in the format requested together with the relevant report. Private customers may chose between editing, copy-editing, proofreading or a combination of those. If you have any queries about the type of proofreading needed, please do not hesitate to contact us. All agreed guidelines will be taken into account during the proofreading process. If no guidelines are provided, the proofreader will apply those considered best according to his/her own professional judgement.
