Actually,
no it won't. We all have our role, so let's begin with this...
An Editor uses specialized knowledge to edit your text to make it smooth, clear, concise, and understandable. A good editor uses that knowledge to rewrite sentences or even paragraphs, correcting any obvious errors, but focusing mainly on using their expertise to make sure your document makes perfect sense. And then sends it on to a copyeditor or proofreader.
A
Copyeditor is a proofreader with the added knowledge and experience
in not only grammar, spelling and English variations, but also styles
of writing. A copyeditor will sometimes have specialized knowledge in
a particular field, but will always ensure consistency throughout the
text (style, names, dates, locations, etc.). A great copyeditor with
the added expertise of a proofreader is your final line of defense
and always worth it, especially if your content has gone through
various changes and hands.
A
Proofreader reviews a final product, the edited text, for spelling,
punctuation, typos, correct use of English, and regional and
international variations. Your editor had a go at your document, or
you're sure it's pretty much in final form and you need to make sure
there are no strange uncaught typos or commas? You're experienced at
writing content and know you simply need good proofreading but no
rewrites, etc.? An experienced proofreader is perfect here.
