Simply put, copyediting ensures that the story you are telling (be it a creative story or a real-life event) is organised as a beautiful whole.

This means that your narrative, values, characters, structure, and content are consistent and flow easily through your page into the mind and heart of your reader. It may surprise you to know that all editing actually takes place before proofreading.

Whilst copyediting fixes small errors such as grammar and spelling, for a total finish, proofreading is essential.

Proofreading is not just about spelling mistakes and grammar. Proofreading is the final polish of your writing, and it’s for this reason that it’s done after editing.

A copyediting and proofreading package ensures that your narrative, values, characters, structure, and content are consistent and organised as a beautiful whole, and that spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, and formatting are all correct.

The difference between copyediting and proofreading is like the difference between your car being thoroughly cleansed at home versus your car being professionally detailed. Both do the job, and your car feels great for you to drive afterwards. But if you were hiring out or selling your car, you’d need it to be detailed, as it would need to be perfect.

Likewise, when you need a flawless piece of writing, you need a proofreading and editing package.

Creative Entrepreneurs:

You love to work on your art, and whilst you may sometimes enjoy the creative aspects of marketing and connecting with other Creatives on your social media feed, you wish that so much time wasn’t taken away from your true passion — your actual creations — and you sometimes feel wrung out by the constant need to post, to keep up with the algorithms. Does this ring true for you?

Community-minded Entrepreneurs and Organisations, and Values-Driven Businesses:

You have a deep commitment to righting social or environmental injustice, and there’s a part of you that just does. not. want. to. stop working on the work that feels like it actually matters. But *sigh*, you also know that you need to get the word out there, for physical support and sometimes funding support of the causes you are championing.

Here’s the thing: it doesn’t need to be hard or consume your time. My passion is writing, and my heart is deeply invested in supporting Creatives and values-driven businesses and organisations in bringing their important work to life. I would love to help by creating a package of content for you, either on a one-off or an ongoing basis.
