Although the terms proofreading and editing are often used interchangeably, they do not refer to the same process. Editing refers to the ongoing review and alteration of a document, article, dissertation or thesis for sense, clarity and overall flow.
It may involve significant restructuring of sentences or paragraphs. Proofreading, on the other hand, takes place after editing and involves a detailed critical appraisal of the document to pick up on errors in grammar, punctuation, syntax and spelling. It is usually completed by ‘a fresh pair of eyes’ – someone who is not the writer.
Professional Proofreading and Editing Services
An experienced proofreader will read a document, paying attention to every detail to ensure that all grammatical errors have been corrected and syntactical improvements have been made. Proofreading involves far more than a final skim of a document prior to publication. It is an essential part of the publication/submission process.
Written English is very different to spoken English. As a student, you will be expected to submit essays in formal, written English. The difference between the two is distinct. While native speakers find the differences difficult, non-native speakers tend to find them extremely complex. If English is not your first language, you may be struggling with spoken dialects and idioms. Therefore, it is a sensible idea to utilise a professional proofreading service to help you avoid mistakes when writing English texts.
