Editing and proofreading are two distinct stages in the writing process.

Both editing and proofreading are essential for producing high-quality written work. While editing focuses on improving the substance and structure of the content, proofreading ensures the accuracy and correctness of the final product.

    1.    Editing: Editing involves reviewing and revising the content, structure, and style of a piece of writing to improve clarity, coherence, and effectiveness. 

    2.    Proofreading: Proofreading occurs after editing and involves a meticulous review of the text to identify and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting.
