Wordsmithing

Our editors will read your work (over and over again). They will be on the lookout for anything that makes it less readable and less than perfect. This type of editing is also known as mechanical or line editing.

Our copy editors will examine and correct the following elements in your work:

• Spelling
• Grammar
• Capitalization
• Word usage and repetition
• Usage of numbers or numerals

Developmental editing or coaching is our most intensive work. It is also known as content or substantive editing and involves our editor providing detailed feedback on “big-picture” issues. It’s similar to an editorial assessment but contains much more detail. We'll guide and coach you into becoming a better writer.

Corporate communication is writing for business purposes. Our corporate writers help convey the values and goals of your organization. Corporate writing typically falls into these areas:

• Public relations: This is anything written for the public or the press. A press release, for example, is corporate writing. So is the content written for a company’s website.
• Business communications: Business communications are written for people who deal with the organization, either internally or externally. For an internal audience, they are things like newsletters, in-house magazines, company-wide memos, email updates, and intranet sites. External business communications are geared toward shareholders, analysts, or the public. Examples of external business communications are annual reports and other financial statements, opinion pieces, speeches and presentations, and policy statements.
• Marketing communications: These are things written for the specific purpose of selling a product or service. They’re directed to the consumer or to a business customer. Brochures and other sales material are examples of marketing material.
• Technical writing: Our technical writing helps simplify the complex. It communicates complex information to those who need it to accomplish some task or goal. It results in relevant, useful, and accurate information geared to specifically targeted audiences in order to enable a set of actions on the part of the audience in pursuit of a defined goal. Technical writing is relevant to every organization. Many think of technical writing as creating manuals for computers and software, but the practice of technical writing takes place in any field or industry where complex ideas, concepts, processes, or procedures need to be communicated.

Everyone has amazing stories to tell. But some may have insufficient time or skills to do justice to their stories. Ghostwriting is great for those people. It can help individuals and organizations develop compelling content. Think of ghostwriters as interviewers who can craft answers, on any topic, into interesting narratives. Imagine sitting in your favorite coffee shop, talking to a good friend across the table—that’s how easy it is to work with our ghostwriters.
