Editing
Making a document read well and present itself professionally is a skilled art and takes many years of training. Editing is not simply checking for spelling and grammatical errors, and there are actually several different levels of editing, involving structure, substance, appropriateness, flow, voice and even censorship. A best-seller may be edited three or more times and then proofread that many again before it reaches the shelves in your local bookstore. Being an editor is a responsible position and respectable career. In Indonesia, many people confuse editing with proofreading and although there are some overlaps, they are at completely different levels. Even the best writers need their work edited. An editor should be objective and make constructive suggestions that will improve the author’s writing. Non-native speaker writers in particular will need their document both edited and proofread. We can help term your document into a piece of art that your readers will not want to put down. Contact us for rates and queries.
