Proofreading/copy-editing

A text that has brilliant content but is orthographically and grammatically incorrect will fail to make an impact. The same goes for a text which is free of errors, but of poor quality.
In either case, we have a solution for you. Our proofreading service whips your text into shape so that your readers can concentrate fully on the content, while our copy-editing service helps you to achieve stylistically assured copy.

Proofreading

As a rule, we read every text twice, as four eyes are better than two. We check your text for spelling, grammar and punctuation.
We check the typography; in other words, we look for correct hyphenation and whether quotation marks, apostrophes and dashes, indentations, etc., have been correctly used.
We check and create tables and indexes and compare the table of contents with chapter headings and page numbers.
We only correct verifiable errors, as we differentiate between poor usage and incorrect usage. But we will of course point out style errors to you.

We proofread texts in:

• German
• French
• English
• Italian
• Spanish

But what if your text is not only to be free of errors, but also written in a convincing style? Then we recommend our copy-editing service.

 
Copy-editing

A text that is free of errors is still far from being good copy. A text must be clear and understandable so that it works for the reader. We’ll check your text stylistically and revise superfluous and unwieldy usage or multi-clause sentences that are just too complex. We copy-edit texts in:

• German
• French
• English

Text comparison

We compare your texts in:

So that you are saying the same thing in every language.
