The difference between editing and proofreading

Proofreading catches surface errors, such as grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes.

Editing is a more comprehensive service. Editing includes proofreading, and also improves language, sentence structure and word use, and ensures that ideas and arguments are expressed clearly.

However, all of our editing and proofreading services are tailored (for example, dissertation editing and book editing are different). Check out each service page for a full outline of exactly what that particular service involves.

Turnaround times

Global English Editing’s approach is simple.
You get to name your return date and you’ll never be charged extra if you require a short turnaround.
We can handle most deadlines as we have a large team of editors and operate efficiently. However, we will always be upfront if your preferred return date cannot be met and an alternative will be suggested.

Global English Editing never discriminates on price based on the turnaround. We provide the same high quality editing or proofreading service every time, and therefore do not believe the price should change based on the return date. In contrast, many other professional editing services charge a substantial surcharge for a short turnaround.
