Hi, Tommy555:<br /><br />Well, I did it, a marathon session over three days! I hope I helped.<br /><br />Although I was careful not to change the content, please proofread the edited document carefully. I'm a bit of an expert myself now on the YCP and the CCP.<br /><br />There are lots of changes, some explained in the margins. I would read it over &nbsp;first without the markup showing, then compare&nbsp;the edited version to the original. You can easily reject anything you dislike.<br /><br />There are two easy ways to compare an edited document with the original. One is to have two monitors, with the original document open on one and the edited version open on the other. The other is to print a copy of the original and compare it to edited version on screen.<br />Line edit: a line edit focuses on the way you use language to communicate your story to the reader. Is your language clear, fluid, and pleasurable to read? <br />Copy edit: the goal of a copyedit is to address flaws on a very technical level &ndash; to make sure the writing that appears on the page accords with industry standards. It is a high-end proofread.<br /><br />I do all of the above, but even I make mistakes, so please read over your document carefully. If you have any questions, please send a message to me via Editor World.<br /><br />Thank you for submitting your paper. I really enjoyed reading it.<br /><br />Best wishes - George (TypeRighter)<br />I am usually available for editing between 6:00 am and 10:30 pm (EST). If my status is set to 'unavailable', you can still reach me via Editor World.<br /><br /><br />
