Copy Editing Services
My copy editing services get down to the nuts and bolts of language. I apply three-plus decades of expertise along with the relevant style guide for your project.
If the details below don’t describe the type of professional editing services or analysis you think your manuscript needs at this stage, consult my other service definition pages for manuscript evaluation, substantive editing, line editing, and proofreading.

- My copy editing services include editing for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other mechanics of style; general fact-checking and ensuring internal consistency of facts; marking head levels and approximate placement of art; and notifying the designer of any unusual production requirements.
- They may also include applying Canadian, American, or British style; metrification; providing or changing a citation system; writing or editing captions, credit lines, and running heads; listing permissions; and adding designer-written specifications for the typesetter or formatter.
