Considered Quality
Multiple correction rounds ensure that errors are spotted, queried or corrected on various occasions.
The copy-editing stage involves the most focused work on rewriting and refreshing text. Proofreading is yet another opportunity to spot errors, especially if a number of documents have been combined.
The quality of each project is paramount to our clients, and to us.
Multi-author Collaboration
Consistency matters.
If your documentation is written by numerous authors, we can standardise the grammar, punctuation and style. This is the most challening aspect of copy-editing and proofing – ensuring a seamless document that is uniformly formatted and stylistically cohesive. Taking on said challenge is what we have years of experience in.
This also applies for single-author documents or documents written by a non-native English speaker. We collaborate in all avenues, commiting to high-calibre enhancement and detailed clarity in all of our work.
Multi-editor Assignment & Tailored Feedback
Whether a single author or multiple, we use multiple editors per document, to cover a breadth of topics, knowledge and expertise. The more eyes the better! Leaving tailored feedback and dropping links along the way, we help the client to understand our choices with full transparency.
Our Method
For UK English, we use the MHRA, Hart’s Rules and the Oxford English Dictionary, the country’s premier language guides, to ensure precision and finesse. For US English, we reference the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
All of our native speakers are able to style projects either in US or UK English. The best format for edits is Word documents (we will use Tracked Changes) or Adobe Acrobat PDF for proofs.
