This service is for clients who need a
service to check, edit or originate texts which are
needed quickly. These may be, for example, short texts for business
proposals, contracts, instructions for clients, meeting
information or items in presentations. It may be only a
few lines to be checked which may have critical
implications or parts of a proposal that need to be
clear and easily understood. These tasks may arise
regularly or on an infrequent basis. Our service is
designed to meet this need whenever it arises with
quality work and sensible prices. We have been trialing
this service over the last year and it has been found
really useful for busy clients.
Contact us to register and
start using this service. Prices are based on our
standard proofreading and editing rates plus a small
premium for the fast response service and are only
applied from when we work on your text. In any case, we
will save you money and potentially a lot of problems if
your original text is unclear or inaccurate.
See our prices page.
What do we do?
Proofreading
or editing
Proofreading
will correct the spelling and grammatical errors (e.g.,
punctuation, compound words, prepositions), as well as review
the choice of vocabulary and sentence structure.
|
Editing
will pay attention to
the
items listed in proofreading and in
addition we will look at the consistency of the document
language as well as style and tone, the language of the target
sector and the vocabulary employed. We can work with your
completed documents or with the raw drafts of text which need to
be edited to final quality. We can also produce sub-edited text
which provides more
concise documents
where needed.
|
Origination - We are often asked to take a
piece of rough text or notes in English and then produce final
polished text which does what the client needs. Sometimes this
requires a short discussion on the phone or sharing a document on
screen to make sure we have the right level of detail and a good understanding
of the function of the text.
|
If we do not meet
your expectations - you do not pay.
