Proofreading is correcting errors in a proof version of a typeset text and is the final step in the editing process before a book is printed and published.
Copy editing is about making sure a text is clear, readable, error-free and is the final edit before a manuscript is typeset.
All documents are proofread as standard with additional light or heavy editing when requested. Why not send a sample? Word Mouse can take a look free of charge and make some suggestions for the level of proof/editing if required.
For academic papers, rest assured, your content is proofread as standard and only minor editing suggestions put forward to ensure the work remains entirely your own.
