Editing & proofreading

Want your report to reach a wider audience?
Grammar and punctuation not your thing?
Typos leaping out as soon as you press 'submit'?
Difficulty turning your ideas into an interesting story?

Envoque can help!

We offer several levels of editing ranging from substantial structuring to projects that need just a final proofread. We look through your draft document, talk with you about what you're wanting to achieve and recommend the level of service required to deliver a great result within your budget.

What's involved in copy editing?

Many projects require only careful document review using style sheets customised to your individual or corporate requirements. We can also check content is factually or technically correct and that referencing follows accepted standards and protocols. Typically, we check for:

consistent and appropriate style, language and tone to suit your aim and intended audience
clear meaning & inclusive language & style
'sign-posting' to assist your readers
unnecessary jargon and repetition
explanations of specialist terms and acronyms
compliance with accessibility standards.

Recommended changes are marked on the text electronically for you to review. Final decisions on any adjustments to the text remain with you.

What are the benefits of professional proofreading?

Proofreading is a specialist task that gives you confidence that your publication conforms to accepted writing conventions and your individual or corporate style. We can discuss your project requirements but we typically check that:

grammar, spelling, punctuation and spacing
heading levels and numbering are correct
in-text citations are included in your reference list
tables and images include alt text for readability
printer proofs match the pdf versions provided.

Readers not involved in the production of a text are often the best at picking up typos!

We look forward to hearing about your project.
