Each of the applicants - even the most accomplished - selected to move through to the next stage of our appointment process undertakes a rigorous proficiency sample edit assignment which is carefully reviewed before they are considered for appointment to our team of professional editors and proofreaders. The result is that when you engage our services you can be confident of the benefit our online editors and proofreaders will bring to your work.  The editor assigned to your project will be the one who is not only the most suited to your individual style , but the most experienced in your field or genre, and who will work with you on a one-to-one basis through to the completion of your project.  

 

Invariably editors are lovers of words, language and communication. This does not mean they want to increase the number of words or pad out the language in your document. Rather, as Elmore Leonard so aptly expressed at the start of this piece, they work hard to simplify the language; to select exactly the right word and combination of words that leaves no doubt in the reader’s mind as to the purpose and meaning that underpin your writing.  

 

Editors and proofreaders are usually lifelong readers and lovers of books, but their eclectic reading habits over the years have resulted in a love of the well-written word in whatever application is happens to be expressed whether you want a grammar check, spell check or punctuation help — or much more — for your essay, dissertation, thesis, marketing proposal, personal letter, user guide, business plan, cookbook, inspirational how-to book, personal statement, novel or autobiography.

 

In addition to other qualifications, most of our online editors and proofreaders have completed a degree in the arts. However that degree could equally be in molecular biology, law, engineering, mathematics, science or any one of the many other disciplines that are dependent upon les mots justes – the right, precise word or combination of words – to distinguish writing in those fields in such a way that it becomes memorable to generations of readers (read more about our professional editors). Their specialized academic training, excellent general knowledge and wide-ranging life experiences combine to bring a sensitivity and heightened awareness to their manuscript editing, and their work on your academic documents or business reports and proposal.. They sense what it is you are trying to say but perhaps cannot find the right words to express; they recognize the hidden gem that may be languishing within an otherwise unwieldy sentence.     

 

In editing your work WordsRU’s editors and proofreaders will:

 

  • Check your grammar and look for spelling, tense and typographical errors as well as offer punctuation help.

  • Look at your word choice, sentence and paragraph structure.

  • Copy edit — reading every line, word by individual word, and removing those that may be unnecessary or simply confusing the meaning you wish to convey.  They look at sentences, their rhythm and flow. They check for repetitiousness and lapses in clarity, continuity and consistency.

  • Carry out a substantive edit where the work is considered in overview, to determine whether your material is being presented in the best light.

  • Ensure that the development of your document or manuscript is sound and free from any loose ends or sagging mid-sections; that the overall style and presentation is appropriate to the purpose of the document and your intended audience.

 

WordsRU’s qualified and experienced online editors and proofreaders make the difference – the difference that transforms your document so that it corresponds with your objectives and achieves the outcomes you desire.
