Editorial Support

Editorial support provides a broader approach to documents that require attention beyond proofreading. Depending on the project, this may involve structure, organisation, clarity, consistency or detailed sentence-level editing. The appropriate level of support is determined by the document itself, its purpose and the stage it has reached.

What Editorial Support Can Include

Editorial work can address the organisation and development of a document as a whole, as well as individual sections or passages that require closer attention. This may include reorganising material, strengthening connections between ideas, identifying gaps or contradictions, reducing unnecessary repetition and resolving language that could be misunderstood by the intended reader.

Establishing What the Document Requires

An initial sample gives us an opportunity to examine the work before recommending a course of action. A document may require one clearly defined service, while a more complex project may benefit from several stages of editorial attention. We explain what we have identified, discuss any areas that require clarification and agree the scope of the work with you before proceeding.

From Editing to Completion

The editorial process follows the needs of the project rather than a fixed sequence. Substantial issues can be addressed before attention moves to finer details, while documents that are already well developed may need only limited intervention. Where appropriate, the work can conclude with a separate proofread to check the finished document for errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation and presentation.
