Editing and proofreading

Write it riTe has extensive experience proofreading and editing a wide range of material for industry, government, associations, the TAFE sector and small business. (See testimonials)

Although we specialise in editing training materials, no matter what type of document or communication we are working on, our considerable expertise and real eye for detail ensure an effective, professional product.

Because each client and each project is different, we tailor the level of our input to suit your needs. Write it riTe provides a variety of services, ranging from basic proofreading to in-depth, substantive editing.

Basic proofreading - This will pick up those annoying typos and errors that can all too easily slip past when you are very close to a project. We focus on punctuation, spelling, capitalisation and spacing.

Editing - We check all of the basics, including grammar, but also look for inconsistencies and repetition.

In-depth editing - We still check for spelling, grammar and other fundamental errors, but in-depth editing goes far beyond this.

Because we look in greater detail at the content, structure and flow of your material, substantive editing often involves rewriting. We can also report on whether the style and language are appropriate to the intended audience/market.

Other specialised editing services include:

Web-checking - This service is designed not only to check for typos and the usual errors, but also to ensure that the web text is user-friendly. We also look at the use of keywords.

Plain English Editing - We eliminate unnecessary jargon and officialese, and ensure your material is in language that is easy to read and understand.

Post-translation Editing - Business people whose first language is not English often need assistance in writing communications aimed at an Australian market. If a document has been translated from another language to English, post-translation editing is essential. This ensures not only that the text is correct and makes sense, but also that the language and content are appropriate for the particular audience and culture.
