Copywriting

Converting information into communication:

Plain English rewriting

Rewriting complex, bureaucratic or technical material so the meaning is clear to a lay person.

Copyediting

Editing for grammar, spelling, punctuation and other mechanics of style; checking for internal consistency of presentation and facts; marking heading levels and approximate placement of art; highlighting copyright and legal issues; and notifying design and production staff of any unusual requirements.

May also involve incorporating the client/author's replies to queries (the brief should specify whether this work is to be included in the copy editing fee or performed for an additional fee).

Substantive editing

Ensuring the structure, content, language and style are effective and appropriate to the reader. The brief should specify whether changes are to be suggested to or drafted for the author.

Proofreading

Reading typeset copy word-for-word against a manuscript or style sheet, identifying deviations for correction, and querying editorial errors.

May also include checking conformity to type specifications, creating a style sheet, and checking typography (kerning, margins, word spacing, repetitive word breaks, and so on).

Indexing

Books, databases, journals/serials, web sites, online help, metadata.

Production management

Supervising all stages of production, from writing and editing, to design, printing and distribution.
