Copyeditors always serve the needs of three constituencies:
the author(s) — the person (or people) who wrote or compiled the manuscript
the publisher — the person or company that is paying the cost of producing the printed material
the readers — the people for whom the material is being produced
All these parties share one basic desire: an error-free publication. To that end, the copyeditor acts as the author's second pair of eyes, pointing out–and usually correcting–mechanical errors and inconsistencies; errors or infelicities of grammar, usage, and syntax; and errors or inconsistencies in content. If you like alliterative mnemonic devices, you can conceive of a copyeditor's chief concerns as comprising the '4 Cs'–clarity, coherency, consistency, and correctness–in service of the 'Cardinal C': communication.
