proofreading and copy editing services, The Written Word

Ensuring the pen remains mightier than the sword

Proofreading and copy editing is a business and academic essential. Whatever the publication and whatever the medium, there is no faster way to lose your readers than by having mistakes in text. There is also no faster way to lose credibility. We not only correct spelling and grammatical errors, but also check the overall style, and correct references and any logical mistakes.

It goes without saying that our editors are academically qualified, but more than that, they are mature and have a wide variety of business experience. We are used to dealing with all manner of subjects, including academic, technical and marketing, and are used to working in both British and American English. Documents can be sent and returned in virtually any electronic format and we use the latest software.

We provide services to academic institutions, companies, agencies and private individuals. Our work is extremely accurate, detailed, cost-effective and always delivered on schedule. Whether you have a children's book, an advertisement or a doctoral thesis, you can trust us to make certain that your readers understand your intended meaning.

Software and document formats

We can accept and return documents in any of the following formats:

  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Microsoft Excel
  • PDF
  • Trados
  • SDLX
