Copy Editing and Proofreading Services

Think of writers as superheroes—and their editors and proofreaders as the trusty sidekicks. The best sidekick is on your team and at your side, ensuring that your copy is effective, polished, and error-free. No run-on sentences or confusing jargon for you!

So what’s the difference between editing and proofreading?

Editing is the art and science of improving your writing line by line, also known as copy editing or line editing. This includes checking for:

  • Grammar, punctuation, and spelling

  • Accuracy of phone numbers, website names, and hyperlinks

  • Clarity and flow

  • Wordiness

  • Missing words or duplicate words

  • Inconsistencies (Why is her name “Terry” on page 2 but “Terri” on page 9?)

  • Adherence to a style guide, if applicable
     

In superhero/sidekick terms, this service ensures not only that you’re at the height of your powers—but also that your hair is perfect.

Proofreading is reviewing for basic errors in a final draft that’s ready to publish, post, or print. If you say you “only need proofreading,” your doc has already been edited as described above. Proofreading is an eagle-eye double-check for just the first two items:

  • Grammar, punctuation, and spelling

  • Accuracy of phone numbers, website names, and hyperlinks


This service ensures that your superhero suit isn’t on backwards—but your hair is on its own.

If you’re ready to take your writing to the next level and wield its power to achieve your goal—whether it’s winning clients, persuading decision-makers, or blasting information—contact Susan Patten at Bravo today to discuss your editing and proofreading needs. Don’t let a typo keep you from saving the world.
