Editing is not just about correct spelling and acceptable grammar. It is about:
choosing the words and phrases appropriate to your readers
communicating effectively the right message to your audience.
Copy-editors can help to improve the way you communicate, whether you are a large corporation, a small business, a website developer, a government department, an NPO/NGO, a university or school, an advertising agency, an aspiring writer or a student working on a thesis.
Publishers have long understood the need for copy-editors’ services. Here are four good reasons:
Value
Mistakes and inconsistency can be costly. A copy-editor helps you get it right first time, on time and within budget.
Clear Communications
If your communications are unclear, you risk confusing your audience. A copy-editor makes your written communications clear, concise and correct.
Image
Misspellings and clumsy grammar are not good for your image. A copy-editor makes you look good, find the right tone and choose the appropriate words.
Versatility
Copy-editors work on all kinds of project: best-selling books, brochures, corporate reports, magazines, newsletters, personal résumés, press releases, proposals, reports, text-books, theses, training materials, Web pages.
