Job definition
Copy editors begin the editing process by fixing any grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors. They also double check that names, places and organizations are spelled properly and that facts, dates and statistics are accurate. This involves contacting and sometimes having to verify writers' sources as well as conducting online research.
Each publication or institution employs its own style guide that dictates writing standards, such as tense, voice or the spelling of certain words. Copy editors ensure that articles are written in accordance with the style guide. They work closely with writers, suggesting changes to enhance an articles' readability, conciseness and style. Copy editors also help writers research topics and locate and contact sources throughout the development of articles.
