Copy-editing
We specialise in eliminating errors of spelling, punctuation and grammar. We fine-tune phrasing and sharpen presentation to ensure that your document reads clearly and fluently. This process makes a crucial difference to any document's presentation, whatever its length. Whether your document has been copy-edited or not shows!
Proofreading
Here our close attention to detail guarantees a perfect printed document. As well as correcting typos, we attend to layout, spacing and page-breaks.
Report and summary writing
We can construct any kind of summary or report from a longer document or from a set of notes or instructions.
Copywriting
We can create text for advertising or publicity purposes to suit your needs.
Style creation
We specialise in developing a suitable editorial style for any series of documents, written or projected. This might for example be a set of flyers or reports for a business or public-sector organisation. We are expert in laying out text to create a stylish and professional finished product.
We also produce style manuals for use by secretarial or other staff in a particular organisation.
Consultancy
Wherever you are in the world, we can offer editorial consultancy by post, telephone or e-mail. Just send us your text, and we will provide advice in the form most convenient to you.
We also offer onsite consultancy to clients within the UK. We can work onsite over the course of a day to finalise a document, or can visit you on completion of an editing job to address queries or concerns.
Editorial training
We offer onsite training to both public and private sector organisations, in the form either of seminars or a mini-conference on writing skills, copy-editing and bibliography construction. Our aim is to tailor our service to your requirements, and we welcome e-mail and telephone enquiries about how we might best assist you.
