Copy Editing and Proofreading Services
See Rates and Services.
We look at your writing with a fresh perspective.
Editing and proofreading are often the most difficult activities
in the writing process. Usually, you have read the text multiple times, and it is
best to have a writer outside of your circle proof and edit the final draft.
We help you involve your reader.
Each piece of writing distinguishes and identifies a certain voice which
establishes a rapport with the reader. In a visually, interactive society, such
as ours, a good writer engages and interacts with the reader. Your voice is what
enriches the text and keeps the reader reading. This is also where your
reader detects your knowledge and relation to the topic. In fact, your
voice reveals you as the writer and motivates the reader.
We proof to motivate and keep your reader focused.
To motivate your reader throughout the reading process, your final copy should be
free of mechanical errors. Spelling errors, poor grammar and word usage, incorrect
punctuation, capitalization, and formatting distract the reader and make
the text difficult to read. At this point, many readers stop reading.
Our proofreading services consist of correcting spelling errors, grammar,
punctuation, capitalization, and basic formatting.
We edit according to your specific needs.
Our copy editing services consist of proofreading for mechanical errors and
checking the overall syntax of the document. For copy editing
services, we proofread, edit, rewrite, organize and rearrange sentences to improve
transition and clarity.
We consider your audience.
We realize that grammar and punctuation are only the beginning to good writing skills.
Your attitude also reflects a certain voice, tone, and style, which connects your topic
to your audience. The mechanics of writing and language are significantly unique within
each discipline, and therefore, require different styles of writing. Thus, we edit
according to your profession and/or the genre of your manuscript.
We consider your purpose.
We understand that writers convey a distinctive style in their language, which
generates mood, meaning, and images. Likewise, an effective writing style depends
further on a combination of writing elements. In the editing phase of a document,
we consider the audience, type of writing, punctuation, word choice, sentence
structure, and overall presentation. Our copy editing services assist in the
final stages of the writing process to produce a document geared specifically for
your purpose.
Our writers have experience in MLA, APA, Chicago Style, and The Associated
Press Stylebook. You can request a writer with a background in political science,
history, literature, creative writing, technical writing, and/or journalism. Our
writers have also worked on documents pertaining to insurance claims, chemicals, oil and gas,
employment, safety, real estate, education, politics, history, sociology, psychology and
advertising among others.
