from beginning ... to end

Copy-editing focuses on improving the grxmx and style of a piece of writing for clarity and sense. Proofreading, the following stage, targets typographical and grammatical errors, sometimes addressing layout. Safely and securely, we receive and deliver projects based on the agreed terms and retain a high quality from the start.

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 use the Merriam-Webster Dictionary for reference.

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 PDF for proofs.

Project Amount

We are happy to work on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. Any indication of the amount of project work during quotation is welcomed.

Our rating from our professional clients for the delivery of highquality edited manuscripts.

House Style

Before project work can begin, we would expect to receive a house style or some guidance on your expected service.

Point of Contact

We would like to have one primary contact at your company to liaise with and feedback to while working with you.

Negotiation

All negotiations must be agreed prior to contractual agreement. We have sample contracts for viewing and grxmx are always flexible and open to negotiaion.

The OED, Merriam-Webster, the MHRA style guide, various refencing systems and personalised house styles are used to perfect your words.
