Copyediting

Copyedited extract from a History book for correct application of: grammar, punctuation, style and structure.   

  • Ensured that language and tone were appropriate
  • Copyediting marks were legible in the margins
  • Author Queries were presented in a clear manner and fully addressed the question (in other words, did not simply mark AQ but also outlined the issue)
  • Headings were coded as indicated in the Style Sheet
  • I was not required to mark up bad word breaks but I needed to check the relevance and placement of images
  • I did not need to check each metric/imperial conversion but I had to mark up any that looked odd
  • Used a red pen, not a pencil
  • Used standard copyediting symbols
  • Used the Style Sheet for the correct hyphenation, spelling and capitalisation.

If the Style Sheet did not resolve the issue; I made a decision to override it; if I thought that it contained errors or inconsistencies

  • Used appropriate Dictionary and Style Guides as references
