Business editing

Business editing is for documents at the draft stage.

It makes your content clear, concise and easy to read by: 

  • improving word choices

  • revising for a professional tone

  • checking sentence structure and clarity

  • improving the flow of the content

  • checking technical terms and jargon

  • removing repetitive language

  • checking spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Business proofreading

Business proofreading is for documents at the final stage – text that's complete and edited.

It is a final check for: 

  • typos

  • grammar and spelling

  • page numbers and headings

  • layout if in PDF format

  • consistency.

What I work on

  • Create readable and professional reports that impress your clients, investors, business partners and managers.

  • Clearly communicate objectives and policies to specialists and the wider community with technical editing and proofreading.

  • Clear comms = confident teams. I edit internal documents to make sure your people understand what they need to do, without confusion or fluff.
