Business Solutions Summarised

 

Gentle Editing

Your document is well written and presented, but it requires some changes to grammar, spelling and punctuation. Word selection and sentence construction are generally good. Sentences may need slight adjustments to improve the flow and impact of your ideas. Formatting usually only requires checking for consistency. This is the least expensive form of business editing we offer. Proofreading is another name for this level of editing.


 

Moderate Editing

There are significant issues with grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Word selection is often poor or incorrect. Some of your ideas need to be presented more clearly to avoid double-meaning. Removal of repetition and wordiness will also help to improve meaning. Sentence structure is weak and reduces the clearness, flow and impact of your writing. Reformatting the style of your references to other works, and other editing issues may require attention. Copy editing is another name for this level of editing.

Extreme Editing

Your document needs many changes to correct serious problems. These will include correcting grammar,spelling, punctuation and word usage. The text is likely to be clumsy, unclear, and often ambiguous. The structure of sentences is generally weak and incomplete. Paragraphing is frequently non existent.  Your themes and ideas are not well-expressed and may be misleading. Reconstruction and reorganization of text is required. Document formatting and presentation need attention. Substantive (or detailed) editing is another name for this level of editing.

Copywriting

Copywriting involves generating persuasive and informative written content for a wide range of communication media. The work of copywriters involves, in addition to writing, the other editing disciplines described on this page. 

Our copywriting service is mainly limited to web copywriting, a field in which we have over ten years of experience. It includes writing for search engine optimisation (SEO) which is an art in itself. However, we are qualified to deliver other copywriting services - see link below.

 

Introduction to Our Processes

When you register with us and complete our "Quotation Form" we will ask you to provide a representative sample of your document editing project. If you do not send the whole document, we do ask for at least 500 words so that we can assess the level of editing required.

If your project is greater than 2000 words, you may request that we provide you with a sample edit as part of our quotation. This sample edit will contain 300-500 edited words. Please check the "Sample Edit Required" box on the quotation form if you require this service.

Once you accept our quotation and we have received your payment, the editing work will be completed speedily. Our quotation form asks you to indicate a suggested completion date. If you require your project completed within 48 hours, our quotation price may include a "Fast Service" fee. 

If there are any issues that need clarifying we will raise these with you and, if necessary, ask you to re-submit copy that has been unclear for our editor. When we return your edited project, our editor will make brief comments including any difficulties in understanding meaning.

  Correct English begins with correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. 

 We always begin our editing with a spell check. Commonly misspelled UK English words:

auxiliary, believe, cemetery, definite, embarrass, foreign, grateful, height, independent, kernel, juicy, library, maintenance, noticable, occasionally, precede, questionnaire, recommend, separate, twelfth, until, vacuum, weird,  yacht, zebra
