Encyclopedia > Peachtree Editorial and Proofreading Service
The Peachtree Editorial and Proofreading Service, based in Peachtree City, Georgia, is a small company specializing in the proofreading of bibles for typographical errors, founded c.1979 by June and Doug Gunden. Many members of the proofreading staff are theology students, and most of the English-language bibles published in the United States are proofread by this company.
Proofreading is reading a proof copy of text for the purpose of detecting errors.
Earlier, when handwritten originals were common, it was often easier for a copy editor to review and mark up a manuscript after it had been typeset and the proof copy produced.
Today, proofreading usually refers to reviewing any text, hardcopy or electronic copy (on a computer), and checking for any kind of errors.
