"Copyediting requires close attention to every detail in a manuscript, a thorough knowledge of what to look for and of the style to be followed, and the ability to make quick, logical, and defensible decisions.”

– 13th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style

Simple brochures or magazines, fundraising appeals or training manuals, op-eds or annual reports — each pose their particular challenge for the writer. All benefit from good editing.
