| Introduction | |
What is English Finish*? An agency that provides copy-editing and proofreading services to professional writers worldwide. We specialise in language-editing for non-native speakers who choose or have to write in English and want to feel as confident about the quality of their work as when they write in their own language. Why would you need a copy editor or a proofreader? Most of us write from some sort of 'script' in our heads. When we go back to read what we've written, our brain anticipates the vocabulary we've chosen and the structure we've devised for our text. Because our work is so familiar to us, we normally lack not only the critical distance from which gaps and mistakes become clearly visible, but also the fresh eye that will spot them. For that reason, most copy editors and proofreaders won't correct texts written by themselves. A
professional copy editor or proofreader will
bring that
fresh eye to your written work, plus a toolkit of skills and techniques
for
repairing any problems that crop up.
Copy-editing or proofreading? While there is an overlap between the two, the terms are not synonymous. When you submit a manuscript for publication it is first copy-edited, then proofread. In the process, the copy editor will overhaul your manuscript so that the proofreader can run the final check and eliminate any remaining errors before your work is sent to the printer.
