Proofreading? Copyediting? Ugh!
Proofreading or Copyediting? What’s the difference and which do you need? Let’s break it down.

Line Editing, the more you know…

Typically, it’s the second edit; after developmental and before copyediting and proofreading. Often times though, it’s combined with copyediting and a strong case can be made that this makes total sense.

“The End”… Now What?

I’m Chris Bird, the copyeditor, line editor, proofreader and everything in between at Chris Bird Edits. I’m not sold on my business name yet actually (I’d prefer something spicier), but it’s my name and here we are.
