How we work with editing/proofreading
Proofreading or editing?
When our customers contact us for help with a text, they often ask forproofreading. However, sometimes what our customers are actually asking for is an edit of theit text.
So what's the difference between proofreading and editing? At GlobalDenmark, proofreading includes correcting grammar, punctuation and spelling errors and checking for consistency in headings, tables, figures and the table of contents.
When we edit, we take a more in-depth look at the text. In addition to the things covered in proofreading, we point out ambiguities in the text and check its overall coherence – so that it is clear and has a common thread. We ensure that you are consistent in your use of technical terms and that paragraphs and sentences are logically connected and have a clear focus. And we make sure that the text is generally easy to read. For example, by breaking up long sentences, deleting unnecessary words and repetitions or rephrasing sentences.
Readability is crucial to how the reader perceives your text and whether you get your message across. Editing ensures that your reader will easily be able to understand your points without having to fight through unclear language.
Generally speaking, proofreading focuses on language errors (grammar, spelling and punctuation), while editing also focuses on content, structure and argumentation. The goal of editing is readability and clear and fluent language.
We can help you decide whether your text needs proofreading or editing based on the purpose of the text, your timeframe and budget.
