🖋️ Editing Services That Go Beyond the Basics
At Verity Proofreading and Editing, LLCI don’t believe in one-size-fits-all editing packages. Instead, I provide a complete, thoughtful review of your work, tailored to your goals and voice.
Whether you need a final polish or a deeper refinement, here’s what every project includes:
Copyediting Services Overview
Copyediting is a critical stage in the editorial process, designed to refine a manuscript by addressing technical accuracy and stylistic consistency. It ensures clarity, coherence, and correctness in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and language usage.
Typically performed after developmental or content editing (when applicable) and prior to the final proofreading stage, copyediting serves as the bridge between structural refinement and publication-ready polish.
During the copyediting process, I meticulously review and correct the following:
- Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax errors
- Consistency in capitalization, hyphenation, and style choices
- Accurate word usage and elimination of redundancies
- Omitted or duplicated words and phrases
- Formatting consistency, including font size, style, and layout
- Proper use and punctuation of dialogue and dialogue tags
- Timeline continuity and consistency in character details
- Ambiguous or convoluted phrasing, flagged or revised as needed
- Overly repetitive or verbose sentences
- Basic fact-checking (e.g., verification of brand or place name spelling)
This service ensures that your work is presented with professionalism, precision, and polish, ready for its next stage.

Proofreading Services Overview
Proofreading is the final quality check before publication, providing a meticulous review to ensure the text is polished, error-free, and professionally presented. This step comes after all editing has been completed and focuses on identifying any overlooked mistakes that may impact readability or credibility.
As a proofreader, I provide a careful, line-by-line examination of your document, checking for:
- Spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors
- Typos and minor inconsistencies
- Formatting irregularities (e.g., spacing, alignment, and font consistency)
- Repeated or missing words
- Numbering and sequencing issues (e.g., chapters, footnotes, or page numbers)
- Inconsistencies in headers, captions, and lists
- Final polish to ensure clarity, flow, and professionalism
Proofreading ensures your writing is clean, cohesive, and ready to make its best impression—whether for print, digital publication, or submission.

Copyediting vs. Proofreading: Understanding the Distinction
While both copyediting and proofreading are essential to producing polished, professional writing, they serve distinct purposes within the editorial process.
Copyediting is a deeper, more involved stage that focuses on improving the technical quality and consistency of the text. It addresses grammar, punctuation, spelling, word usage, and sentence structure, while also ensuring clarity, continuity, and stylistic uniformity. Copyediting may involve rephrasing or reordering content to enhance readability and correct issues that affect the integrity of the writing.
Proofreading, on the other hand, is the final review before publication. It is more surface-level and aims to catch any remaining typographical errors, formatting inconsistencies, or overlooked mistakes introduced during editing or layout. It is not intended to revise or restructure the text, but rather to ensure the final version is error-free and presentation-ready.
In essence, copyediting refines the writing; proofreading perfects it.
