COPYEDITOR: Don’t want to trouble yourself with the rigors of parallel structure and the placement of adjective clauses? Can’t bear to go back and figure out if you’ve used that expression before? You could leave it up to AI—if you want to sound like a robot. Or you can let me take over. I can help you to sound more like yourself—and be grammatically correct at the same time.

PROOFREADING: Proofreading errors don’t always undermine what you’re trying to say, but they can undermine your reader’s confidence in your professionalism and competence. Why leave it up to chance? And why struggle with an AI-editor that will “correct” your stylistic choices as well as your misspellings? A good proofread is quick, relatively inexpensive, and enables the writer to relax, confident that everything is as it should be.
