BLC Proof & Copy

A good copy-editor is more than simply an error-correction service. 

Your editor should help ensure that your material is well-organised and properly presented; that any factual issues are identified and queried; that any inconsistency or vagueness is eliminated; and that, in general, you have an independent and expert eye looking over the detail and style of your manuscript.

You need a proofreader or copy editor who can work to deadlines accurately, be flexible with work hours and respect the client’s confidentiality.
