COMPANY

EDITING AND PROOFREADING SERVICE

With my editorial skills I can help your business by:

  • checking draft documents in respect of spelling, grammar and punctuation

  • improving the structure of sentences to enhance clarity and conciseness, using plain English

  • providing advice on style and layout

  • helping to develop a house style for documents produced in-house

  • ensuring consistency of style and fact

  • revising, rewriting and condensing material.

I can check your documents and publications to avoid embarrassing misprints and unfortunate or unclear wording. Sending out printed material containing errors and inconsistencies will not create a favourable impression with prospective customers or clients.

 

APPLICATIONS OF EDITING AND PROOFREADING

Whatever your requirements, whether it is a large and important report or a leaflet for mailing to customers, I can provide a personal but professional service tailored to your needs.

Consider also that a fresh and objective pair of eyes to read through your written material can save wasted time and money at a later stage and avoid embarrassing mistakes. All too often imaginative writing or brilliant design can be let down by inconsistencies of style and grammar, poor punctuation and spelling, and unclear meaning.

The following are just a few of the items that need careful preparation and checking before printing and circulating:

  • advertisements

  • annual reports and accounts

  • application and proposal forms

  • books

  • business documents

  • calendars and wall planners

  • catalogues and directories

  • corporate literature

  • email promotions

  • guides and handbooks

  • standard letters

  • manuals, such as for training, management procedures and operating instructions

  • menus and programmes

  • OHP transparencies and handouts for conferences and seminars

  • PowerPoint presentations

  • price lists

  • promotional literature, such as leaflets and brochures

  • sales documents, such as terms of trade

  • staff and customer newsletters
