Foreign Window LitWorks: SERVICES

BUSINESS

Ensure your message reaches your target audience in a clear and effective manner.

Every piece of writing that leaves your office should be edited. As experienced freelance copy editors we are available for larger projects that may need a closer, detailed edit. We edit copy for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling and check the copy for readability, style, and agreement with editorial policy, as well as suggesting revisions to improve clarity or accuracy. Our editors are also available to carry out research and verify facts, dates, and statistics, in addition to advising on and arranging page layouts of articles, photographs, and advertising; as well as preparing copy for print.
