How we work

1. Listening and assessment

Before making changes, we seek to understand the text, its audience, the stage of the project and the expected outcome. This initial reading guides the scope, priorities and schedule.

2. Considered editing

We apply proofreading, manuscript preparation or copyediting to the extent required, making consistent choices while respecting the writer’s intent and voice.

3. Quality control and delivery

We carry out a final check, record the relevant points and deliver organized files, ready for the next editorial stage.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of text can be proofread?
We proofread books, articles, academic materials, reports, institutional content and business publications. Before starting, we assess the genre, audience and production stage to recommend the most appropriate scope.
Proofreading focuses on language corrections and inconsistencies. Manuscript preparation and copyediting allow for more extensive work on clarity, flow, structure and consistency, while always preserving the text’s intent.
The fee and deadline are determined after an assessment of the material. We consider its length, complexity, the level of editing required, file formats and the desired delivery date to propose an appropriate scope, schedule and fee.
