Copyeditors

Copyeditors handle grammar, punctuation, consistency, continuity, and adherence to style guides.

When to hire: Hire a copyeditor after the story and prose are as revised as you can get them, before final proofreading or publication. It's a near-final polish, not a story-level service.

How this differs from related services

  • vs. Line Editors: Line editors focus on the artistry of prose. Copyeditors focus on correctness — grammar, punctuation, style-guide consistency. They're consecutive steps. See line editors →
  • vs. Proofreaders: Copyediting works on the manuscript, before layout. Proofreading works on formatted final files, catching what the layout process introduced. See proofreaders →
