Copyediting

A high-quality copyedit can transform a lackluster string of sentences into writing that seizes your reader’s imagination and crackles with intensity. Copyediting isn’t about combing your work for tiny mistakes (though it’s important to find those too). It’s about understanding craft and skillfully using language to communicate precise meaning.

Word Bird’s copyediting preserves a writer’s unique voice while attending to grammar, punctuation, spelling, word usage, clarity, consistency, semantics, factual information, potential permissions issues, and bibliographies.

Word Bird follows the Chicago Manual of Style, the standard style guide used by most publishers, but also has experience with APA, AP, MLA, and house-specific styles.
