About Proofreading and Editing
Proofreading and editing involve improving a passage by correcting spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, word choice and sentence structure. Editing also checks clarity, consistency, unnecessary repetition and faulty connections between ideas, while proofreading focuses on surface errors after the meaning and organization are already established.
