What is copy editing?
Copy editing involves comprehensively improving a text. This comprehensive task includes all of the steps in proofreading and text review but goes further. We delve into the core of the text, looking at coherence and themes, and reviewing layout, headings and introductory paragraphs. Copy editing may also involve reorganising, shortening or adding to a text. Our copy editors essentially improve every aspect of a text and its content.
We listen, we understand, we deliver
When we receive your text we make an assessment and ask questions to understand exactly what you need. We want to understand the purpose, message, target group, and where and how you intend to publish or distribute the text. In our assessment we also consider your instructions, requirements and requests before proceeding to the next stage. During the copy editing process we come back to you with comments, questions and suggested improvements for you to consider. The finished product is a thoroughly reviewed premium text ready to use.

Why you should edit your text?
A text that is more to the point
We make the text more concise and tighter while bringing the most important aspects to the fore so that the message is clear, incisive and accessible.
Improved structure and clearer theme
We review layout, headings and paragraph construction to give the text a more logical structure that leads the reader in the right direction.
A message that hits the mark
Language, tone of voice and content are adapted to target group, purpose and publication channel.
Linguistic and stylistic refinement
We improve sentence structure, word choice, style and flow while also ensuring that the text is aligned with your company’s language profile and communication guidelines.
Market and cultural adaptation
We make sure that the text works in its context and is adapted to the market and target group it is intended for.
A comprehensively edited text
While copy editing includes proofreading and a text review, it also goes even deeper to optimise the text.
