Editing & rewriting

Not every professional is a perfect writer.  One of your biggest challenges is to produce documents that are readable, professional and clear as day.  An external editor can lighten the load for you.


AS PROFESSIONAL editors, we have the distance, objectivity and skill to bridge the gap between you and your readers, to make your messages stand out and your words sparkle.

We also have an eye for detail and can keep a steely focus on issues of language and presentation, without compromising your content.


You can use Plain English People editors to:

Edit or rewrite individual documents
Anything from a two-page brochure or a 500-word guest article to a 50-page tender bid or 100-page public report.  We apply the same principles of clarity, readability and professionalism to on-line content (emails, e-zines, white papers, web pages) as to printed documents.

Manage a complete publication process:
involving text from various sources.  Includes newsletters, annual reports, research reports and user manuals.

Prepare a 'readability report':
We analyse how well a range of documents perform for their audience and purpose, and suggest ways to improve them.
 

"A wonderful editing job.  Thanks!  Our newsletters are so much better now.  Clear, straight-forward — how simple English is if one knows. "
