We are extremely diverse in terms of the services we offer - our range currently includes proofreading, copy-editing, copy-writing and dedicated CV assistance - your imagination is the only limitation.
Proofreading
Student or business, at some point you will need pieces of text to be proofed. Everyone makes mistakes and that's why this service applies to everyone . Proofreading entails the following: checking spelling, grammar and punctuation; ensuring a consistent style, checking for inconsistencies, ambiguities and suggesting improvements or changes without making the amendments for you. We provide quick turn-around times dependent on word length (within 24 hours for up to 10,000 words) and can proofread anything from essays, books and personal statements to application forms and letters.

Copy-editing
Like proofreading, copy-editing involves checking for correct spelling and grammar, however copy-editing is much deeper in its scope. Layout is extensively analysed and alternative styles recommended if necessary; everything from headings and paragraphs to figures and tables. The complete structure of the work is overhauled to ensure it is as concise and clear as possible. References are also checked, making sure that they have been made correctly, according to your recommended style guide.

Copy-writing
This involves the production of new copy, or more simply, new text . Websites, brochures, leaflets or letters; whatever material you require, we can provide it. What's more, with our copy-writing skills, we can help you to: persuade your target audience; dissuade your target audience; communicate with clear, unambiguous language or simply ensure consistency throughout the piece. With extensive knowledge and command of the English language, we can tailor the text to meet your exact requirements, whilst guaranteeing freedom from spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
