What is the difference between copy-editing and copywriting?

And do you know the difference between copywriting and content writing? What about copy-editing and proofreading?

And then there’s proof-editing. What IS that?  

If you don't, you're not alone. People often call me a copywriter. I am not. I offer a splash – and that's mostly academic rewriting. I am primarily a copy-editor. 

Confused?

Me too. The lines between roles can be blurred, and the skill sets required change and evolve. 

Hopefully, the infographic will help you to work out exactly which professional you need to help you with all your writing needs.

Disclaimer: The infographic is necessarily succinct and by no means comprehensive ~ infographics don’t lend themselves to waffle and fluff. Also, it is my take on the roles ~ others may view them differently.
