Most people want their written content to be perfect. In the pursuit of perfection, it can be easy to spiral into an endless loop of panic proofreading and rewrites. 

 

As specialist copy editors, we can help you avoid the chaos. We’ve not lived, breathed or lost sleep over your VID (very important document), which means we have perspective. Instead of butchering all that hard work, we’ll bring out the best in it. 

 

A bit like the perfect, nerdy partner. Minus the wet towel on the floor. 

Who we work with

How we can help

We’ll check your writing hits all the right notes with your audience, flows well and does your work justice. We can also ensure your communications process is working in your favour. 

Copy editing

Before you give your work to a designer or set it up for publication, we’ll give it a once over to make sure your text is spot on.

Proofreading

Once your work has been typeset or laid out, we’ll check for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation before you hit the print button.

Process

When you need to find a way to make your communications part of your business process, we can consult for you.

The problem with the alphabet is that it bears no relation to anything at all, and when words are arranged alphabetically they are uselessly separated. In the OED, for example, aardvarks are 19 volumes away from the zoo, yachts are 18 volumes from the beach, and wine is 17 volumes from the nearest corkscrew.
