• Polish grammar, punctuation, and spelling
• Conform writing to MLA, APA, Chicago, and other style guides
• Catch inconsistencies in names and details
• Produce a professional style sheet for proofreaders and designers

Professional writing is transformed by close attention to grammar, sentence structure, and the details of language. A copyedit sifts your text with a fine comb—weeding out jargon, improving passive constructions and weak expressions, and consistently applying the rules of punctuation and grammar—allowing you to present it with confidence in any forum, whether for publication, business, or scholarship.
