Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about professional proofreading & editing
What is the difference between proofreading and copy-editing?
Light proofreading: Spelling, grammar, punctuation errors only (£0.02-£0.03/word). Copy-editing: Grammar, sentence structure, clarity, consistency (£0.03-£0.05/word). Technical editing: Specialist terminology, subject-matter accuracy (£0.05-£0.08/word).
Can you proofread machine translations?
Yes - we review and correct machine translation output. This is called post-editing. Light post-editing (basic errors), full post-editing (comprehensive review), or transcreation (complete rewrite). Pricing depends on MT quality.
