Error Detection and Correction:

• My primary responsibility is to detect and correct errors in written documents. This includes spotting misspellings, inaccuracies, and typographical or grammatical errors.
• Before publishing, I meticulously review manuscripts, typescripts, and typeset proofs to ensure they meet high standards of quality.

Typesetting and Formatting:

• I compare typeset documents to the original copy provided by page designers. I verify that font styles, sizes, and text spacing match the specifications.
• Using standard proofreading marks, I make corrections directly on the text. These marks are recognized in the printing and publishing industry.
• I also check images, tables, and charts for accuracy and alignment.

Copyediting Functions:

• Depending on the project, I may perform copyediting tasks. This involves rewording or rewriting text to improve coherence and clarity.
• I add missing or misplaced punctuation to enhance readability.

Language Skills and Knowledge:

• I stay up-to-date with new terminologies and changes in language standards.
• Consistency in capitalization, hyphenation, and formatting is crucial to my work.
