What It All Means

Heavy copy editing: in-depth reading with changes and corrections line by line plus stylistic suggestions and internal organization
-- usually for work in early stages or for writers just starting out

Light copy editing: in-depth reading with changes and corrections suggested
--usually for work in late stages or for seasoned writers

Either editing option with organization: editing as explained above plus overall order of information
-- this option is not a layout or design option; it is for organizing content only

Proofreading: line by line correction of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and all other language-based errors
-- usually for work in final stages or for anyone who needs a second pair of eyes on a written piece

If you're not sure what you need, I'm happy to work with you to figure it out. I'll usually ask for a sample of your piece to assist in selecting a service and for pricing.
