This includes everything I do for proofreading jobs with several important additions. I check for consistency and correctness in:
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Punctuation
- Appearance/Formatting
- Sense
- Tone
- Style
- Purpose
- Diction
- Logical Presentation/Development
- Clarity
- Revision/rewriting to accomplish the aforementioned
I make sure the document uses succinct, effective language that is gratifying to read and easy to understand. If proofreading is tidying up, copyediting is deep cleaning and redecorating.
