It may not be clear what your piece of work requires to make it really shine. Is it just a polish-up or does it need more of a deep clean?

Simply put, editing is the improvement of your work. It has many differing aspects to it from the overall big picture level down to a sentence by sentence approach. At correctly, we look at those smaller details of spelling, grammar, etc. But also take a more in-depth look at the work, improving phrasing and structure to make your writing more effective. With this level of editing we check whether there is consistency in the plot and characters. We ensure the stated facts and references are correct.

Proofreading is the final stage of your work’s journey. This process is critical because it is the final chance to find errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formatting. It is the last time your piece will be minutely inspected before it goes to publication, regardless of the format.

For the editing process to really work well, there needs to be great communication and a level of trust from both the author and the editor. At correctly we understand the importance of this and give each piece of work our time and focus.

Jobs can be quoted by the hour or by the page, with costs varying depending on the services required. We’re happy to use in-house style sheets or can adhere to a variety of style guides depending on your needs, location, and audience. Your work can be on hard copy, PDF, Google docs or Microsoft Office suite, and our corrections can be conveyed back to you via whichever method suits you best.
