You’ve spent weeks (or months) writing a paper, grant application, or report. You’re almost ready to submit – but how polished is your draft?

Many professionals confuse proofreading and editing. While both improve your writing, they serve very different purposes. Choosing the right one can make the difference between “acceptable” and “outstanding.”

Proofreading: The Final Polish

Proofreading is the last step before submission. It catches:

• Spelling errors and typos
• Punctuation and grammar mistakes
• Minor formatting issues
• Consistency in headings, abbreviations, and citations

It’s ideal when your content is complete and you need a second set of eyes to catch lingering issues.

Editing: Clarity, Flow, and Structure

Editing goes deeper. It can help with:

• Sentence structure and word choice
• Paragraph organization and transitions
• Tone and voice alignment
• Content clarity and logic

Editing is especially valuable for early drafts, complex documents, or when English isn’t your first language.
