Copy-Editing.130402
Why do you need a freelance copy-editor?
Whether
it’s for print or online use, creating good copy is time consuming.
Typically,
many business owners and directors are too busy to spend the time
needed to do
a great job in producing copy.
Copy-editing is a great deal more than
proofreading.
A copy-editor will do all the tasks the proofreader does, but also
needs to
understand what is happening in the article.
Finding any significant, or even many minor errors in the copy really
depends
on understanding what the article is all about.
There are different levels of
copy-editing, from
light editing in improving the odd awkward sentence to re-writing the
copy
where necessary. Checks are carried out on information accuracy, that
references are accurate and all web page links work. Attention to the
style
and tone of voice is needed to ensure it matches the company’s
personality
and appeals to your customers.
A good copy-editor needs to
be patient, meticulous
and have a good eye for detail.
