Proofreading vs. Editing
While the two terms are often used interchangeably, and there is some overlap in the skills required, they are not the same. -
Proofreading
A proofreader’s primary responsibility is to focus on words and ensure there are no grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors. The proofreader also checks line breaks, ensures there is no deviation from provided style guides, and checks all the visible elements such as cross-references and captions. -
Editing
An editor’s primary responsibility is to enhance the effectiveness of your message by ensuring that the language, content, and style support your message. The editor reviews the relevance, clarity, appropriateness, and credibility of your content and recommends changes where warranted to ensure the intent of your message is maintained in a professional manner. -
Why Bother With an Editor?
When you’ve looked at the same copy several times, it’s easy to miss errors—your eye becomes conditioned to the copy and you see what you expect to see, not what is actually on the page. A good editor trained in language and composition, such as myself, provides a fresh, independent, and objective perspective of your material and can quickly pick up errors and discrepancies.
