Do you have questions about our editing and proofreading services?

Do I need an editor, proofreader, or copy editor?

That depends on the current status of your content. If you’re early in the revision or editing process, a standard editor would be the best fit for your needs. If you have a final draft and need someone to go through it with a fine-tooth comb, you need a copy editor. When your document is complete and about to be published online, you use a proofreader to conduct the final checks. We provide all these services.

What types of editing services do you provide?

There are several different kinds of editing and proofreading services, and choosing the wrong type of editor can affect the overall quality of your project. The first step to avoid this costly mistake is to understand that there are many different types of editing. Here are the types of editing and proofreading services we provide:

Article Editorial Assessment: Quick article review that allows our editor to provide you with feedback and guidance. This is a macro assessment, and while an editor will make minor changes, they don’t go into detail. These assessments typically happen at the start of a project.
Development Editing: Another type of macro editing, development editing is also known as substantial editing. It focuses on the structure, theme, narrative, flow, pace, ideas, perspective, tone, logic, and clarity of the piece to maintain consistency.
Structural Editing: Structural editing is the first step in micro editing. The editor will check the content, analyze paragraphs, readability, and make revisions.
Copy Editing: A copy editor will focus on the core quality of your content. They look at every sentence and their attention to detail must be on point. Our copy editors review grammar, spelling, punctuation, and the overall in-depth quality of your content.
Proofreading: That’s the final step in the process. Proofreaders give the content a final once-over to ensure that it’s 100% error-free.

Will you fact check my content as part of the editing and proofreading process?

Yes, we can. As part of our editing and proofreading services, we also verify that all the facts, statistics, and other referenced information is correct. If needed, we can also provide sources and look for updated details to add to your existing content.

I need specialized skills for my content project. Can you help?

Captain Words employs excellent editors with cross-industry experience from around the world. If there’s a special skill you need, we likely have several editors who can meet your needs.

Can I hire a dedicated editor for my content project?

Depending on the scope of work, we may assign more than one editor to your project. However, sometimes an editor and a client simply “click” and work extremely well together. If one of our editors exceeds your expectations, you’re welcome to request their exclusive attention. If you prefer to have one of our editors work exclusively on your project, please contact our management team to discuss a managed services arrangement.
