Text editing is the process of improving written content to improve clarity, coherence and overall quality. Professional editors review and proofread written documents or texts to ensure that they comply with grammar rules, style guidelines and language conventions. This process includes correcting spelling and punctuation errors, improving sentence structure and flow, removing redundancies, improving clarity and ensuring consistency in tone and style. Text editing services are provided in a variety of contexts, such as research papers, business documents, manuscripts, marketing materials, websites, etc. Editors can also provide feedback and suggestions to help authors communicate their ideas effectively and engage their target audience.

Most frequently edited texts:

Stylistic/creative editing - editing a text stylistically, correcting proofreading errors, incorrect use of terms, style, and text structure. Usually, if the text is inaccurate, the editor rewrites the text to keep the main idea of the text. Editing takes into account the nature of the text, the purpose, the scope of presentation and other factors influencing style. In a stylistic edit, the editor would review the text, check the overall structure of the text and present it in a creative way to make it as comprehensible as possible for the reader.
