Client: Camille Cordier, Ph.D. researcher, Université Lumière Lyon2-France
Services: Copyediting, Line-Editing
The Ph.D. researcher in modern history at the University of Lyon Lumière 2 examines the issues of urban history, material culture, colonialism, and food markets in Saint Domingue (Cape France 1690-1790).
I copyedited her article “Shaping a Colonial City: “The Space and Time of the Slaves’ Market in Eighteenth-Century Cap-Français.”
My copyediting approach included:
Checking for and correcting:
- Errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation.
- Technical consistency in capitalization, font usage, hyphenation, and spelling consistency (UK-US spelling).
I also provided line-editing by:
- Improving word choice.
- Rewriting and restructuring (by adding remarks in the comment section of the word document).
- Checking the readability of the article ensuring that the reader can grasp the writer’s argumentation.
- Checking for redundancies, tone of voice, flow, and coherence.
