Editing & proofreading
We polish your texts to make them shine – fluent and free of errors.
So, you’ve drafted a text and are reading it through before it gets sent to print. But you can’t help feeling it doesn’t sound right. Ideally, you’d like to get it proofread and edited, but you just don’t have the time. You ask your colleagues for their opinion, but they generally can’t shed any light on the matter either. What you need are professionals who can proofread and edit your work rapidly yet reliably, in any language. Professionals who will dot the i’s and cross the t’s, and make sure that every comma is exactly where it’s supposed to be.
Simply send us your text to be corrected or proofread – it won’t be long before a customised quote is sitting in your mail box.

Editing & proofreading – the finishing touches
It goes without saying that we always check spelling, grammar and punctuation – but sometimes this isn’t quite enough. In some cases, you’ll need a linguistic fine-tuning that puts spelling, grammar, style, word choice, comprehensibility and readability under the microscope. Your press release or marketing brochure, for example, needs to read smoothly and do what it’s supposed to.
In editing, it’s not what you say, but how you say it that matters. In proofreading, it’s being punctilious about punctuation and scrupulous about spelling. Both steps are recommended before publishing a text.

FAQs about editing & proofreading
Our proofreading service checks spelling, grammar, punctuation, typos and syntax. Our editing service is more comprehensive: in addition to proofreading, we also look at style, readability, as well as comprehensibility and phrasing. In short: For proofreading you need a microscope; for editing you also need a scalpel.
