	How to Copyedit and Proofread Written Work - WikiHow
		Copyediting and proofreading are terms used to describe the process of examining written work for errors.
		In order to make the process accessible to beginners, the activities involved in proofreading and correcting basic errors will be referred to as "copyediting." By the time you finish reading this, you should be able to perform basic copyediting tasks.
		Copyediting differs from so-called substantive editing in that the goal of the copy editor is to avoid changing the original text any more than necessary.

	Barrett Leigh Clink: Editing
		The purpose of this copyedit was to ready the article for publication by correcting its mistakes and adjusting it to the journal's house style.
		The purposes of the style sheet and cover letter were to explain the reasoning behind the changes I made and to draw attention to any changes that may affect meaning, to changes in the wording or placement of headings and subheadings, and to any significant changes to tables or figures.
		Although this was an onscreen copyedit, I made my first pass on the hard copy of the article, using a pencil to mark my changes.

	A Writer's Guide to Understanding the Copyeditor
		The copyedited manuscript is usually reviewed by people at the publishing house--the editor, the managing editor's staff, or both.
		Your copyeditor should not be rewriting your sentences for political correctness or because she thinks it sounds better her way, or rewriting ungrammatical sentences that are complex enough to require a phrasing decision.
		Fiction copyediting requires a light touch, a fine sense of when to leave things alone, and an ear for style.

	Greg R. Fishbone: WOTD: Copyedit
		Generally, these were popular titles in paperback, which meant that they'd been through multiple printings without anyone noticing or bothering to fix these horrible transfiguring errors.
		Not only did I have mad copyedit skillz (not a typo), I also had an old Webster's Dictionary that had been my father's, which included a whole section on proofreading marks--those squiggles and lines that mean add, delete, change, or leave a seeming mistake the way it is on pain of death.
		One day in class, I absently marked up the front page of the school newspaper in red ink proofing marks just to pass the time and slipped the finished version under the office door on the way to my locker.

		Many clients who turn over a job say, "All it needs is a copyedit." I've heard these words used about everything from a 900-page manuscript needing extensive permissions and a major rewrite, to a polished document needing only a quick proof.
		The first step toward a solid copyedit is to define your expectations and to communicate them clearly.
		If you're copyediting yourself, double-check headings (where errors often appear) and easily interchanged small words that a spell-check may miss (a, an, and; if, in, is, it; to, too; than, then, and so on).
