Copyediting: finding grammar, spelling, punctuation and other mechanical or style issues. Also, checking of facts and verifying the spelling of obscure words or brand names. Proofreading: the last edit to find any errors missed during the copyedit, as well as to make sure formatting is consistent. I look for widows and orphans (broken lines or paragraphs), consistent paragraph indents, correct graphics placement, page numbers, and more. Typing and Transcription: hand-written copy, print-outs of manuscripts or audio files Please contact me for more information: lesliesediting@yahoo.com 619-416-7729 or message me via Leslie’s Editing on Facebook.
