We hear the term ‘copy-editing’ bandied about a fair bit in the publishing industry (sometimes interchangeably with ‘proofreading’), but what does it actually mean?

Copy-editing is a step distinct from developmental editing, where content is evaluated and organised, and from proofreading, where text that has been set out in its final layout is checked for errors. Instead, copy-editing calls for reading a text thoroughly and proposing changes for consistency, clarity and correctness – taking what’s written and refining it into its best version.

Want to find out more? Take a minute to read our ‘What is copy-editing?’ blog post, here on the Prepress Projects website.

At Prepress Projects, one of the services we offer is copy-editing. If you have a piece of writing where the ideas are conceptually sound but you’re worried that the writing isn’t reader-friendly, or you want a team of native English speakers to refine syntax or check grammar and spelling, havin...

We’re on to the last leg of the Step Count Challenge, and the sudden onset of summer temperatures over the weekend has helped boost our numbers to a Prepress total of 2,453,930 steps!

The Prepress teams are in the home stretch of the Step Count Challenge: Prepressers have walked total of 2,096,170 steps or nearly 917 miles! But most importantly, we're getting out into nature, seeing sights close to home and further away.

This week Prepress Projects joined the walkingscotland.org.uk spring 2026 Step Count Challenge, and we are pleased to announce our two teams: 'the Print Runners' and 'Copy and Paced'.

We'll be doing our best to get out, walk and hit some step goals, and we'll be posting a weekly step update as we go.

But for now, here are Copy and Paced out for a team walk along the South Inch in Perth, hanging out with their new mascots, the South Inch swans!

To celebrate Earth Day, we're thinking about some of our favourite local walks!

Prepressers were out in force this weekend on the Loch Leven Heritage Trail for another hike.

The 13-mile loop took us past vibrant grasslands and through scenic woodlands, where we spotted some curious fungi, heard chiffchaffs, willow warblers and skylarks, caught the first wafts of gorse and enjoyed a few well-earned pitstops for coffee, bacon rolls and some dubious-sounding “I’rn Brew” (🤨) sorbet.

Another great day out in great company!

Healthy workplaces drive high-quality work. That’s why this morning our Managing Director, Lucy Harrier, shared her insights on supporting a mentally healthy workplace at Public Health Scotland’s panel on ‘The role of leaders in supporting mental health and wellbeing at work'.

We were delighted to see nearly 200 participants from across Scotland attend this panel and come together to discuss what practical actions have worked in creating positive, inclusive workplace cultures that promote mental health and well-being. Discussion focused on the importance of values-led leadership, early and open conversations, and practical, consistent support mechanisms rather than one-off initiatives.


Thank you, Lucy, for taking the time to share your insights, and thanks to Public Health Scotland and Change Mental Health for putting employee health and well-being at the forefront.
