Copy-editing is in-depth editing for clarity, consistency and flow, to ensure a piece of writing is ready for publication. The aim of copy-editing is to guarantee that the text is accurate, easy to follow and free of error, omission, repetition and inconsistency.

A copy-edit can also include rewrites and revisions to remove repetitions, for clearer organisation and to ensure the tone and style fits the purpose. Fact-checking is also a feature of copy-editing, which includes checking quotations, dates, spellings of names, places and organisations.

Proofreading is a close examination of your writing to correct typographical errors in grammar, formatting, style and spelling. It is the very last stage of the writing process, where mistakes in spelling and punctuation, typos, formatting issues and inconsistencies are corrected.
