Copyediting
Copyediting checks for clarity and consistency, and that your work has a clear and logical direction. Copyediting is typically done before proofreading.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final check of your document prior to publication. A proofread can help to identify errors before submitting work for publication.
Proof-editing
Proof-editing is a combined service, with copyediting and proofreading carried out at the same time.
