Your writing represents your professional prowess,
so we make sure it’s flawless.
Organizations and businesses of all types and sizes regularly produce documents and other materials that help form their public image. It is important that these materials effectively communicate the desired messages and are free from typos, grammatical errors, and other problems that can render important information confusing, unconvincing, and even embarrassing. We offer copy editing and proofreading of any professional material, such as white papers, annual reports, briefs and communiqués, open letters, presentations, and event reports.
We ensure that your writing is clear and accurate so you can shine.
Copy editing (line editing)
Purpose
Review and revise a mid- to final draft text for clarity, language, flow, tone, or other issues. Although copy editing may also include grammar-related corrections, the purpose is to improve coherency and flow, not just correct grammatical errors (see Proofreading below).
What we’ll do
- Strengthen main points by adjusting for clarity
- Revise awkward sentences, reduce repetition, address argument coherency and flow (paragraph placement)
- Check language for accuracy, tense, consistent tone, subject/object alignment, voice (passive/active)
- Reduce length (when requested)
- Review graphics / links / other functionality
