Copyediting is a detailed and complex process aimed to improve and refine written contents so that the final result is grammatically correct, clear, consistent and logical. Spelling, grammar and style come first, but copyediting can be – and often is – much more than that.

While reading a novel, an instruction manual, or an online ad, you may have noticed spelling and grammar errors, as well as typos. What kind of impression do you get from such writing? Do you feel that the author is sloppy or even untrustworthy? That may be so, however, it is often difficult to correct or copyedit the text you wrote yourself.
