Editing & Proofreading

Whatever your content goals, review from a qualified, native-speaking linguist can help maximize the impact of your words.

​

With services ranging from light proofreading to stylistic and structural editing, we at Root Words will work to ensure that your content has the impact you intend.

​

Aside from being integral to our translation process, editing is also available as a stand-alone service for documents written in English or Spanish. As a freelance duo comprising a native English speaker and a native Spanish speaker, we can enhance content in either language.

 

Editing services include:

​

• Structural editing--Recommendations on the organization of your text, helping you clarify, expand, omit, or flesh out sections as needed.

​​

• Stylistic editing--Revision on a sentence-by-sentence level to ensure that the text reads naturally in English and fits the desired register.

​​

• Copyediting--A comprehensive review of your text to ensure that it meets organizational norms and/or submission guidelines.

​

• Proofreading--A strictly grammatical revision of your text to ensure proper spelling and punctuation.

 

Need content in Spanish and English? No problem. We can work together to create and align texts in both languages at once. Documents written by multiple authors? Root Words has you covered.
