There are a few good reasons to bring in an external editor:<\/p>\n
There are three basic levels of editing. After 10 years of editing business documents, wordsmith Kaye Hall can quickly assess the level of editing you require:<\/p>\n
Copyediting\/Proofreading\/Basic<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the simplest form of editing that goes over the basics such as\u00a0spelling, punctuation, basic syntax and basic facts. Sometimes you’ve been staring at a document so long that you can’t\u00a0see the mistakes any more. Most of the time this is the final edit\u00a0after more heavy editing.<\/p>\n Line\/Content\/Stylistic\/Heavy<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the most commonly used type of editing.\u00a0This is particularly necessary where there has been more than one author\/contributor to a report or paper. The focus is on consistency. Any gaps in information or logic will be flagged as part of the editing process.<\/p>\n Substantive\/Structural<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the heaviest form of editing, which includes\u00a0moving, deleting, adding or rewriting entire paragraphs, chapters or sections of the\u00a0report. This requires skill in mimicking the author’s writing style.<\/p>\n \u00a0Important: As copy changes will effect your formatting,\u00a0please complete the editing process before you format your document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wordsmith & More will take the time to understand your communication objectives and provide the level of service you require. Ideally, all editing should be completed before your document is formatted. If you lack the skill or time to write, you may provide a verbal brief, dot points and reference material, and Kaye will write it for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\n
