We are editors: we PROOFREAD and EDIT your essay, thesis, advert, novel, memoirs, website, newsletter or brochure.
We aren't robots. We don't just run your prose through a software program – we read every word ourselves. We aren't literary agents: we can't get your novel or memoir published. But we can give it the final polish that will make it sparkle – and appeal to an agent. |
Clients, customers, agents, publishers, readers and professors will be put off by writing that is hard to understand, or peppered with errors.
We can: make your writing clearer and more accessible. We can: read every sentence for grammar, typos, spelling, punctuation, word choice and sense, and fix any problems. We can: discuss wording with you at any stage. We can’t: write your essay for you. We can’t: work miracles. if your thesis took two years to write, it’ll take at least two weeks to read. Cost by arrangement with the individual editor. |
