Copy editing

writings. I am very much about waiting for inspiration to hit because that’s when my best work is done. When I try to write without inspiration my work is not my best and I struggle to create anything. Also, if it’s not subject I am passionate about then I have a hard time creating anything. By far proofreading is the easiest for me because my writing is complete and I am just doing last minute checking. Also, when I am proofreading my work is already printed out so I can’t do major changes. I like to have someone read my work during editing so they can give me helpful criticism about my work. At this point, I have edited it myself and I need another set of eyes to tell me the mistakes I am looking over. This way I have an idea about what needs fixing, whether mistakes that I looked over or the content that does not make sense to my audience. I honestly do not mind having someone read my work before it’s done, only if it is strictly for editing purposes. However, there are people I feel more comfortable with when allowing people to read and edit my work. When I have writer’s block I like to walk away from my work and give a little time.

A helpful hint author Anne Lamott said was “To make first draft way longer “I’d write a first draft that was twice as long as it should be, with a self-indulgent and boring beginning,…

when writing a paper many things need to go into consideration from the time you get the assignment to printing or submitting the final perfected copy. The first step is the generating ideas and puzzling them together in your first draft. Then you move on to revise, adding information and re-revising the paper you have spent so much time on. Normally then you leave the paper for a couple days with no editing if the writer has not waited until the last second to write the paper. After a few days…

As both a reader and writer, this article brought up some interesting points about writing and editing. It highlighted features I personally enjoy in a good novel and the types of tools the author can use to create tension, suspense, and mystery. I agree that it is important to end a chapter with a cliffhanger to keep the reader interested, but a superfluous presence of cliffhangers would be disappointing. While the article did make some good suggestions, some tips felt a bit redundant. One…

This website is free and is used worldwide with over thirty-million articles in over two-hundred languages. With that being said, it can get hard for the editors who are just volunteering to check every single article. It is expected that the website will have some mistakes. Still, with that many articles there is information galore for anyone to use, but, despite the bad editing that people look down upon, within the past decade Wikipedia has started to look out for itself harder and harder.…

pay me, I will still edit your draft and give feedback, but it will not be as helpful as what I could do with payment. I require that your draft be typed on the computer, printed on North American letter size printer paper, in Times New Roman font style, in font size twelve, double spaced, and paragraphs do not need to have spaces in between them. I recommend doing the following options: have a one-on-one discussion on the edits and feedback I have on your draft, take notes on our discussion,…

marketing strategies. Digital marketing is a superior medium to hard-copy marketing, and evidence can and will be provided through the music, video, and game markets, which this style of marketing concerns the most. The main reason people still keep movies instead of making their collection exclusively digital is that they already have their hard-copy collection. They have their DVD player, and copying the file from the CD to the computer contains several risks to the storage medium. Also, the…

In the pre-production and editing, the involvement was not an issue. In fact, suggestions were plentiful in both phases. However, the production lacked members getting hold of the camera, filming the actors and the area within the scene. There was also not much communication from the group members and actors. Though reasons for lack of involvement during the production stage could be because there was not a strict following of the storyboard, and perhaps if there was a clearer vision of what…
