Editorial Services

The good copy-editor is a rare creature: an intelligent reader and a tactful and sensitive critic; someone who cares enough about perfection of detail to spend a long time checking small points of consistency in someone else’s work but has the judgement not to waste time or antagonise the author by making unnecessary changes
