Proofreading and Editing: Essential Skills from my Portfolio
Understanding Proofreading and Editing
Before booking your order, it's important to distinguish between proofreading and editing:
Proofreading involves checking a text for grammatical, typographical, and punctuation errors. It's the final step before publishing.
Editing is a broader process that includes improving the content's clarity, flow, and structure. It may also involve fact-checking and suggesting substantive changes.
Preparing for changes:
1. Selecting your Best Work
I can work on a variety of pieces that highlight my range of skills. These include different types of documents such as:
Articles and blogs
Academic papers
Business documents
Creative writing pieces
2. Demonstrating My Process
Original vs. Edited Versions: Including both versions to highlight the changes and improvements made.
Annotations: I offer explanations for significant edits to demonstrate my thought process.
3. Highlighting My Skills
Attention to Detail: Highlighting instances where I caught subtle errors.
Clarity and Consistency: Show how I improved the readability and coherence of a text.
Adaptability: Demonstrate my ability to work with different writing styles and tones.
