Copy editing

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.

Also, when I am proofreading my work is already printed out so I can’t do major changes. I…

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.…

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.

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…
