This is the final polish of your text before publication. It takes place after copyediting and corrects any remaining mistakes in spelling, punctuation and grammar. This encompasses the main body of the text, headings, sub-headings, captions, illustrations, folios, table of contents, footnotes, endnotes and references.
Light copyediting includes everything involved in proofreading. In addition, it ensures the copy flows well, is consistent, and is written in an appropriate style for the target readership. It will also check the accuracy of facts and references.
This service includes everything involved in both proofreading and light copyediting, plus a deeper reorganising and restyling of the copy. Changes can be made to the text itself, or suggestions provided for rewriting sections to improve style, consistency and clarity.
