In the content economy, readability and optimization are not nice-to-haves—they are necessities. Our copyeditors function as your editorial assistant, optimizing your content and helping you stand out.
Copyediting is so much more than catching typos. Our expert copyeditors are trained to pick up on the subtlest shifts in tone and voice. They know when content feels off and how to fix it.
Even the best ideas can get lost in translation without the right words to convey them. Clear communication depends on what you say and how you say it. At Proofed, our editors refine your writing to ensure that it not only reaches but also resonates with your audience. We enhance clarity, style, and flow—elevating your message while maintaining your unique voice.
Poorly edited content can detract from your credibility and effectiveness, resulting in miscommunications and a weakened impact. Our skilled editors are trained to polish and perfect your text, allowing your ideas to resonate and engage. By trusting us with your copy needs, you regain not just confidence in your content but also the time to focus on your core objectives.
Tired of working with copyeditors who don’t understand your business? Proofed editors are specialized, hand-picked to fit your unique needs, trained on your style guides and tone of voice (TOV), and specialized in your industry.
Managing copyeditors can feel like a full-time job (on top of your full-time job). Your Proofed team is trained and managed by a dedicated Service Delivery Manager (SDM), who provides ongoing feedback and support, giving you your time and bandwidth back.
Copyeditors should give you peace of mind, not add more work to your to-do list. We work off a continuous improvement model, implementing your feedback and updating your style guides so you can trust your content is in expert hands.

Copyediting is the process of revising written material to improve readability and ensure it is free of grammatical and factual errors. Copyeditors also check for inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation, and style according to a specific style guide. This level of editing helps streamline the text to make sure it effectively communicates its message to the target audience.
Copyediting involves reviewing text for accuracy, clarity, and consistency in style and tone before it’s published. It includes correcting grammar, syntax, and punctuation, as well as checking facts. Proofreading, on the other hand, is the final step before publication—focusing primarily on catching typos, misspellings, and formatting errors without altering content significantly.
Editing is crucial because it ensures that communication is clear, professional, and free of errors, which could otherwise undermine the credibility of the text. It helps refine the content’s structure and language, making the information more accessible and engaging for readers. Whether for academic, professional, or creative writing, editing can significantly impact the effectiveness and reception of your material.
Line editing is a more intensive process than copy editing. It focuses on the writer’s style and tone and the overall flow of the text. It aims to enhance the language and structure of the content, making sure it’s engaging and clear. Copyediting, while thorough, typically concentrates more on correctness and consistency of the text rather than style.
The cost of professional editing services can vary widely based on the complexity of the text, the level of editing required (e.g., substantive editing), the turnaround time, and the editor’s expertise. Prices might range from a few cents per word for basic copyediting to higher rates for more comprehensive and developmental editing services. It’s best to request quotes from several services to find the best match for your needs and budget.
Both! Copy editing and copyediting are both correct spellings, but the preferred spelling depends on region and personal preference.
