Page Check/Review
This is a final edit before publication to pick up any small typos and minor
punctuation errors. A Page Check/Review is the simplest form of edit and only
includes a one-time read through of the document to find and correct any errors
left over after previous edits.
Proofreading
The EditFast proofreader will check the following items:
Spelling, typos
Punctuation
Grammatical, typographical, and/or style errors will be corrected
Acronyms: Are they defined at first mention? If there is a list of acronyms,
are all acronyms properly listed? Does the list entry match what is in the
text?
Line-break hyphenation
Page breaks
Figures and tables
Text footnotes
As well, the proofreader will be reading the manuscript with an editorial
eye. If any passages are still particularly difficult to understand, some
light copyediting will be done.
Of course, the specific requirements of each proofreading job vary. The
editor will pay close attention to the objectives and duties as detailed by
the EditFast administration and in accordance with the wishes of the client.
Additional options such as checking references for proper formatting to a
specific style (APA, Chicago Manual of style etc.) should be discussed with
the editor and may incur additional charges.

Marking head levels and approximate placement of art

else that the editors feel is necessary to make the document professionally
acceptable.
Research and fact checking will also be included if needed but the original
purpose and the author's intent will be adhered to or enhanced.
A complete rewrite will take more time and effort than any other type of
editing but if you wish to present a polished, professional document ready
for publication then this may be what the document needs.
