What does this text need?

Editing levels solve different problems. The scope below is a starting point for a conversation, with no fixed package or price implied.

Proofreading

A final language pass once the text is stable.

Spelling, punctuation, repeated words and consistency against an agreed style. This is not a substitute for fact-checking or a structural rewrite.

Copy editing

A closer pass through sentence-level clarity.

Grammar, ambiguous phrasing, terminology and consistency. Changes should preserve the intended voice, with comments when an author decision is needed.

Editorial review

An organised set of observations before a deeper revision.

Reader orientation, awkward transitions and recurring language issues. The review can highlight where context is missing without inventing the content.

Useful details for the brief: word count, audience, file format, house style and your review deadline. Availability and delivery are confirmed separately.
