Every piece of writing represents your brand. That’s why ProEdit offers professional copyediting services designed to improve quality, accuracy, and clarity. Whether you’re publishing training materials, web content, or reports, our editors help you make the right impression.
Why professional copyediting services matter
Even great writing can be derailed by small issues—such as an inconsistent voice, a typo, or unclear phrasing. Left uncorrected, these problems hurt credibility and create confusion for your audience. Therefore, reviewing your content before publishing is critical.
Professional copyediting services provide a crucial final review. Editors fix surface-level errors while improving readability, tone, and structure. As a result, your content becomes easier to understand, more enjoyable to read, and more effective overall.
What is copyediting?
Copyediting improves written content without altering its core message. A copyeditor checks grammar, punctuation, spelling, tone, and sentence structure. In addition, they ensure the content follows your brand or industry style.
Professional copyeditors also examine:
- Word choice and consistency
- Sentence clarity and flow
- Style guide alignment (AP, Chicago, APA, Microsoft, etc.)
- Tone and voice consistency
- Wordiness and passive construction
Some copyediting jobs are quick touch-ups, while others require detailed line edits or careful fact-checking. We match the editing level to your content’s needs. There are several types of editing, and copyediting is just one of them. (See our article on What are the different types of editing?)
What types of content need copyediting?
Clear, professional writing matters across all channels. For that reason, our team edits many types of content, including:
- Instructional content, such as training manuals and SOPs
- Web pages, blogs, and marketing emails
- Social media copy and campaign headlines
- Product content and user guides
- Internal reports and leadership communications
- e-learning content, course materials, and assessments
If it has words, we can edit it—making it sharper, clearer, and more effective.
What’s included in ProEdit’s copyediting services?
Every project is different. Still, our professional copyediting services typically include:
- Correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors
- Removing wordiness and awkward sentence constructions
- Fixing inconsistencies in tone, formatting, and terminology
- Aligning your content with a preferred style guide or house rules
- Enhancing readability by improving sentence flow and voice
- Making non-inclusive or biased language more reader-friendly
- Checking layout issues in headings, lists, tables, and links
- Providing direct edits or tracked changes in Word, Google Docs, or PDF
We also offer developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading. If you’re not sure which service you need, we can help you decide.
How our copyeditors work with your team
Our editors are flexible, responsive, and efficient. We work with in-house teams, agency partners, and solo contributors. You send us your draft, and we return clean, clear content that’s ready to publish.
We support tools like Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs, InDesign, and content management systems. Edits can be made directly in the file or shared through tracked changes, markup, or comments.
If your team uses a house style guide, we follow it. If not, we can create one for you to ensure consistency moving forward.
About our professional copyeditors
ProEdit’s copyeditors are skilled language professionals with industry experience and advanced editing tools. Many are former writers or instructional designers. All have been trained to identify and resolve issues in grammar, structure, and readability.
They specialize in:
- Mechanical editing for punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation, and style
- Line-by-line editing for clarity and consistency
- Substantive editing to improve organization and flow
- Developmental editing to refine early drafts and ideas
- Proofreading to finalize formatting, layout, and templates
Our team follows trusted guides. These include the Associated Press Stylebook, The Chicago Manual of Style, APA Style, and Microsoft’s content standards. Just as importantly, we adapt to your brand’s voice and preferences.
When should you hire a copyeditor?
Here are a few situations when professional copyediting services can help you succeed:
- You’re launching a campaign and want polished, error-free copy
- You’ve updated product content and need consistent terminology
- You’re repurposing blog posts for white papers or training
- You’ve written a strong draft but need help tightening the message
- Your audience includes non-native speakers, and clarity is essential
If you’re unsure whether you need copyediting or rewriting, we can explain your options and recommend the right fit.
Is copyediting the same as rewriting?
Not exactly. Copyediting focuses on fixing and improving what’s already there. Rewriting involves more substantial changes—often starting from a rough draft or unstructured content.
Sometimes, a draft requires heavier revision. Our editors preserve your message while making the content stronger. If you need help turning an outline into audience-ready content, we offer rewriting and content development support.
