Copyediting, in effect, will turn a piece of copy from \u201cokay\u201d to \u201cstellar.\u201d It\u2019ll elevate the message and give it a pristine, easy-to-read quality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Digital Age: Misspellings Abound!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve perused the internet, which means you\u2019ve seen the content that exists there. It is amazing how many blogs, websites, reviews and more contain boundless misspellings and basic grammar mistakes. It\u2019s everywhere.&nbsp;Sometimes it is more than just grammar and misspellings. A lot of times there are difficult-to-read, clunky sentences. Other times there is slang, and unexplained abbreviations. In short: not very professional.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a common example: \u201cTheir,\u201d \u201cThere,\u201d and \u201cThey\u2019re.\u201d This is a simple grammatical rule, yet it is abused way too often. It is an easy fix. If you were to use one in place of the other the meaning is completely lost, or at least muddied. The last thing you want is to confuse your reader, even if they know what you meant. At the very least, they will think you aren\u2019t taking the time to proofread or edit anything you are posting. This won\u2019t keep them engaged.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Copyediting so Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"236\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Editors-Edit_For_Web.jpg?resize=525%2C236&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Copyediting with blue pencil. \" class=\"wp-image-185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Editors-Edit_For_Web.jpg?resize=1024%2C460&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Editors-Edit_For_Web.jpg?resize=300%2C135&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Editors-Edit_For_Web.jpg?resize=768%2C345&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Editors-Edit_For_Web.jpg?resize=1536%2C690&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Editors-Edit_For_Web.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/05\/why-copywriting-and-copy-editing-are-key-to-success-for-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vocne<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;copyediting so important in the digital age? It\u2019ll help you stand out from the unprofessionalism that is abound in the online world. It\u2019ll communicate to the world that you take your business seriously and that you care about how you present yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want your grammar and punctuation to \u201cdisappear\u201d to the reader. What we mean is that you don\u2019t want them to notice. If they notice it means something is wrong. It means something has caught their attention that wasn\u2019t supposed to catch their attention. You want them to have a fluid reading experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to catch your own grammatical errors is to read your copy in reverse sentence order. By reading your copy like this you won\u2019t be distracted by the content and can focus on the grammar of each sentence.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyediting will distill what you\u2019ve written and make it easy to read. It will clean it up and make it organized; and it will lend a level of professionalism to your online presence.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can <em>You <\/em>Step Up Your &#8220;Editing Game&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can step up your editing game in a few basic ways. It is possible to hire an in-house copy editor, but sometimes this isn\u2019t cost effective. You may also consider a contract copy editor. If you have the funds to do so it is worth the investment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you&nbsp;<em>yourself&nbsp;<\/em>take care of the copyediting? During these uncertain times, especially now in 2020, we need to figure out how to make the most out of a little.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enable the Editing Software on Your Word Processor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an important feature that is usually already turned on. However, a lot of people ignore its suggestions. These programs that are a part of your word processor will give you suggestions for grammar. They will also show you your misspellings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t, however, stop here. These programs are very useful, but they aren\u2019t 100% accurate. For instance, sometimes you spell a word correctly, but it is not the word you meant to use. For example: \u201cdefinitely\u201d and \u201cdefiantly.\u201d They look similar but are completely different. The software won\u2019t pick up on this and won\u2019t tell you. (Some programs may offer a grammatical suggestion here, but it is possible they may miss it.)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"242\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Word-Screen-Shot_For_Web.jpg?resize=525%2C242&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Editing Software Example.\" class=\"wp-image-186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Word-Screen-Shot_For_Web.jpg?resize=1024%2C472&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Word-Screen-Shot_For_Web.jpg?resize=300%2C138&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Word-Screen-Shot_For_Web.jpg?resize=768%2C354&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Word-Screen-Shot_For_Web.jpg?resize=1536%2C707&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vocne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Word-Screen-Shot_For_Web.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/vocne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vocne<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to have a foundational understanding of grammar. This foundation allows you to pick up on the&nbsp;things&nbsp;software may miss. It is also possible, and we\u2019ve seen it ourselves, where the program is telling you to insert commas in places where there shouldn\u2019t be a comma. Likewise, it could tell you to insert apostrophes where there shouldn\u2019t be apostrophes.&nbsp;As long as&nbsp;you know proper grammar up to a point you will be able to tell the difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lend Your Copy to Another Pair of Eyes for Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve edited your content you should give it to someone else to review. A new set of eyes is crucial in the editing process especially when you\u2019re editing your own content.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a business partner give it to them. You may also give it to a trusted friend or spouse. Whoever you give the content to make sure to ask them for suggestions. If possible, try to get someone who won\u2019t sugarcoat anything. You want someone who\u2019ll tell you \u201chow it is.\u201d This is important because when editing you need to be ruthless.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving your work to another pair of eyes will help you catch things you missed.&nbsp;Often times&nbsp;we get so used to our own copy that our own mistakes become invisible to us.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another pair of eyes means another perspective. This new perspective will show you clunky sections where meaning is lost. It\u2019ll show you where to reorganize and where to rewrite.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Be Afraid to Rewrite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s world we want to produce as much as possible. We become afraid we\u2019ll become stagnant, that folks will forget about us. But we should never sacrifice quality for quantity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to rewrite what you\u2019ve written. After you\u2019ve edited it and lent it to someone else: rewrite it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rewrite will further polish your copy and have it&nbsp;be&nbsp;the strongest it can be. It will allow new ideas to shine through while bad ideas will be thrown away.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proofread, Proofread, Proofread!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, make one last proofread. We can\u2019t stress this enough. Proofread it slowly. Read every sentence and make sure it reads exactly how you like it. You don\u2019t want to lose any meaning in what you are posting and sharing with the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyediting may not seem like much as first, but it is crucial if you want to stand out in the digital age. Make sure you look everything over. You want to communicate exactly what you mean without anything being lost. In a world where a misspelling could mean a customer vs. a person who never does business with you, copyediting is very important.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copywriting and&nbsp;Copyediting&nbsp;are two phrases that get thrown around a lot.
