Proofreading is the reading of a galley proof or an electronic copy of a publication to detect and correct production errors of text or art. Proofreaders / editors are expected to be consistently accurate by default because they occupy the last stage of typographic production before publication.
Proofreading one’s own work can be tedious. It is hard to proofread your own work. At times, we do miss that spot(s) of error(s) in our manuscripts. This is due to the fact that when we read our own work, we tend to see what we expect to see, and not what is actually there.
Most of the time, even a minor error may make us look silly and depreciate the value of our manuscript. That’s why you need us. You need aid from experts to rectify any errors that you may have overlooked.
Our proofreading service, involves checking and correcting errors in grammar, style, spelling and punctuation as well as providing clarity in sentence structure. Proofreading is mostly a correcting process whereby it reviews for spelling errors, punctuation errors or incorrect use of English. It also involves measures of consistency including making sure names, locations and dates are always treated the same way.

Editing
Editing service might seem similar to proofreading but it looks deeper at how the information is presented. It includes all steps in proofreading with the addition of making changes to make the article easier to understand and better organized without changing the meaning of the sentence. Our editors will correct obvious errors they come across, but the main goal is to use their expertise and intuition to ensure the document makes sense, cut down on wordiness and clarify any ambiguity.
