Abstract
Copy editing is often overlooked in any publication process. It’s commonly thought that copy editing only consists of correcting grammar and spelling errors. But copy editing is a crucial step in publishing as editors can “translate” a text for its audience. This study demonstrates how effective editing is dependent upon an understanding of how a text functions for its author and its readers.
