Proofreading services vs. editing: what’s the difference
Proofreading services focus on catching spelling, grammar, punctuation and typing errors in a text that is otherwise finished. Editing goes further: it also looks at sentence structure, clarity, tone and flow, so the text reads naturally and fits its intended audience. Many projects only need one of the two, and the right scope depends on how polished the source text already is.
