Professional editing services bring clarity to your writing. In fact, if writing is a window, then editing is the glass cleaner.
Editing takes time and patience. But most of all, it takes distance. Distance from the text, that is.
Software has gotten pretty good at checking spelling and grammar. But a human editor does so much more. An editor’s real job is to make text clear—crystal clear.

This guy likes clean windows. We like clean writing.

We used RedLine because we wanted our brochure to make a good first impression. […] it’s easy to miss a spelling or grammatical error. Matt’s team not only catches these types of things, they also take the time to make sure that the message is being communicated accurately and smoothly. I would highly recommend RedLine if you are looking for help polishing your image.

5 High-Level Focus Areas
- Mechanics. Our editors fix grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.
- Word choice. Meaning is the most important thing in a document. If there are errors, then we fix them.
- Consistency. Two styles may be equally valid, but we make the style the same throughout your text.
- Terminology. Readers may not know industry terms such as M&E. We’ll spell it out (monitoring and evaluation) the first time it appears.
- Readability. Editing services improve the readability of your text.
25-Step Editing CheckList
Editing services are only reliable if the work is consistent from one project to the next. This is why we use a 25-step editing checklist.
We check page elements such as subhead styles and case, table of contents, bulleted and numbered lists, table and figure captions, footnote style, and pagination across sections.
And that’s before we even begin to edit your document!
