Editing

Services
We offer two standard service
types: focused editing or proofreading.
Focused Editing
Focused Editing is chosen by
most of our clients.
The service includes everything
you would expect from the proofreading service (outlined below), but also involves advice
on style, format, tone and consideration of your target audience.
Corrections are still made using
“track changes” in Microsoft Word, so you can still choose to approve
these one by one or all together.
Specific comments will also be
added at the side of the page advising on stylistic changes where more
than one phrasing may be appropriate or explaining a change that was
made for reasons of tone, format or style and not because of a technical
error.
Using Focused Editing, you
will have a clear idea of why changes were made as well as how
so that you have a full understanding of the finished document.
Proofreading
Proofreading is a faster, low-cost option for clients who are confident
in the overall structure and language use, but want to avoid glaring
mistakes, typos and grammatical errors.
Proofreading involves the correction of technical spelling and grammar
errors as well as of excessive repetition in phrasings and structures.
Corrections are made using “track changes” in Microsoft Word.
Therefore, you can choose to view and approve each and every alteration
to your work, or you can simply “approve all” and the edited copy is
ready for you. If you choose to use hard copy editing then all editing
changes will be marked on a photocopy; your original copy will not be
marked and will be sent back with the edited photocopy.
