Copyediting & Proofreading
It depends on where you are in the process.
Choose copyediting if:
- You're happy with the content, but grammar slips or small inconsistencies remain.
- You've revised it over time and keep spotting things that don't match up.
Choose proofreading if:
- It's already been edited once.
- You're working from a near-final draft.
- You want a lighter, more affordable final check.
Copyediting is more thorough, catching anything that could confuse or distract your reader. Proofreading is lighter, focused on grammar, spelling, and punctuation, plus a few consistency catches (like a misspelled name). That's why it works best on content that already had a deeper edit.
I use Microsoft Word Track Changes & Comments. I can also use Google Docs.
Honestly? It depends.
Every project is shaped by the length of your piece, your deadline, how technical or specialized the language is, and whether it shifts between English and Spanish. Also, whether you need a copyedit — tightening grammar, and style — or a proofread to catch what's left before publishing.
Consider your audience, and whether the piece has to match a particular style guide, whether that's a brand's, a publication's, or one you've set for yourself.
