Show the professional judgement

A copyeditor can use Tap Tap Go to present a clear service explanation and approved or self-created editing samples. Show how an edit improves consistency, readability or precision while preserving the intended meaning. Brief commentary can make the reasoning visible, especially when the change is subtle and would be missed in a polished final page.

Prepare an informed conversation

Distinguish copyediting from rewriting, fact-checking or subject-matter verification unless those are separately agreed services. Do not publish a client’s draft without permission. A short preparation resource can explain the value of a style guide, audience description and intended format. The profile helps someone understand the editorial relationship before discussing the particular manuscript, rather than assuming every form of editing means the same thing.

Imagine this

Hypothetical scenario

Imagine a copyeditor meeting the author of a business report. Their profile shows a fictional paragraph with a few explained edits, helping the author understand the level of intervention before sharing the manuscript.

Make it practical.
