YOUR DOCUMENTS AND PRIVACY ARE IMPORTANT TO ME
English Editing & Proofreading Services
When writing personal documents of any type, such as letters, eulogies, memoirs, invitations, speeches, biographies, emails, blogs, CVs, job applications, etc., it is always a good idea to bring in a fresh pair of eyes to perfect your writing and ensure you receive the best possible response to your document.
Many of your personal documents are meant to be read by people who will form an opinion about you. It could have negative consequences if your written material does not present you in the best possible light. The way you write is representative of your personality, style and attitude.
With my assistance, you can make the right impression and come across as competent, professional and articulate. I collaborate with you to produce a document that demonstrates correct English usage while retaining your voice, personal subjectivity and intent.
I respect and value your writing as your own, and with my help in polishing it, your thoughts, opinions, information or message are presented in a clear and effective way.
Your work is respected
Your personal written material receives the same level of care and attention as that of any other client. All comments and changes are simply suggestions showing you possible improvements and adjustments. In the final version, you only accept and implement those that suit you.
Your unique voice is retained
Throughout the process, I strive to maintain your voice so that the polished document still feels like it is very much your own. I ensure your personality, insights, opinions, feelings and experiences still shine through in your documents, in an appropriate way.
Expertise On Demand
Have my expertise available when you need it and only pay for the service you require. I can do your urgent project after-hours and on the weekend if necessary! Don’t stress about last-minute mistakes in your work – I can help you meet your deadline and deliver a polished document.
Editing
The purpose of editing your personal document is to deliver writing that is clear, concise, coherent and compelling. Get your meaning and intention across effectively with well-written documents.
My editing service looks at your document as a whole and focuses on its content, structure, language, formatting and the requirements of its target reader.
The editing task involves reviewing and enhancing your text to improve the flow and overall quality of your writing. In addition, I can improve your writing style as well as the layout and presentation of the document if you wish.
I also identify and remove ambiguity and vagueness in your writing by eliminating all unnecessary words and phrases. This ensures that all your ideas fit together logically and are expressed persuasively so your document makes sense.
In brief, to improve the readability and impact of your written material, I polish your language, tighten the logic of your writing, and help you produce a document that is fit for purpose.
COPY EDITING & PROOFREADING
Copy editing and proofreading are the final steps to completing your document. With my assistance, you can be confident that your writing conveys the right meaning and does what you intend it to do.
The smallest slip in your writing could have negative consequences, so avoid misunderstandings and ambiguity with clear, concise and error-free writing.
Copy editing improves your document’s sentence structure, choice of words, grammar usage and format as well as its overall appearance. It checks too, that your style of writing is appropriate for the written material’s purpose and intended reader.
Proofreading your personal document involves correcting the surface errors in your writing. This means eliminating all the obvious and common spelling, grammar, punctuation and formatting errors.
Certain words and punctuations, if used incorrectly, can change the entire meaning of the text. Therefore, to avoid embarrassing and costly mistakes, it is essential that your personal documents are completely free of errors before you send them to or share them with the intended reader.
