Editing, proofreading, and fact-checking
Line-by-line polish to ensure clarity, consistency, and truth.
Examples: structural editing, error correction, fact verification
Sharp ideas deserve sharp prose. We give your draft a meticulous line-by-line polish so every sentence is clear, consistent, and factually sound.
Our edit begins with a holistic read to pinpoint structure, flow, and voice issues. You receive an editorial memo outlining strengths to preserve and gaps to address before we touch the text itself.
Next comes a tracked-changes pass that tightens phrasing, smooths transitions, and aligns the manuscript with your chosen style guide. We flag jargon, trim redundancies, and suggest rewrites where meaning could slip through the cracks.
Proofreading follows once structure and language are settled. We verify spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting against your house rules, leaving margin comments that explain each correction so you stay in control of the voice.
For fact-checking, we trace every statistic, date, and quote back to credible sources, supplying a verification log that lets reviewers see exactly where each claim originates. Discrepancies are noted with suggested fixes or requests for clarification.
You receive a clean version and a marked-up version, an updated style sheet, and a fact-check report—all copy-only, ready for design or publication once you approve the changes.
When you need writing that reads effortlessly and stands up to scrutiny, let's refine the draft on your desk today.
