Proofreading	Checking the final version of your text for minor mistakes and inconsistencies, and for correct layout. People often use the term "proofreading" to mean any kind of editing, but it really means checking your text once it has been formatted for printing or final output. This is not the time to make major changes or start rewriting. If your text needs such work then it should first be copy-edited.
Copy Editing	Working with you on your draft text to get it ready for publication. This could include correcting errors; suggesting changes to improve readability; rewriting; checking facts; checking your illustrations, tables, and figures; checking references and notes; and marking up your text for layout.
Rewriting	Changing your text for a particular purpose; for example, rewriting it for different readers, condensing long text, and replacing jargon or technical language with plain English. This service is also important for non-native English speakers who know what they want to write but who need help expressing it properly in English.
Styling	Making sure your text uses consistent spellings, formats, and punctuation. For example, deciding to spell words using the -ize or -ise suffix, whether to use full stops in abbreviations, marking headings and subheadings, use of bold or italics, etc.
