> Copy Editing and Proofreading for Manuscripts
(fiction and non-fiction)
Our sharp eye and reader’s ‘ear’ give manuscripts a lift with copy editing that focuses on honing your carefully crafted style, while ensuring consistent use of tense, grammar and point-of-view.
Whether writing a novel, compiling a memoir, knitting together a family history, crafting a biography or assembling a history, every story can benefit from a fresh, impartial set of eyes reading over the familiar.
Before trying your luck with publishers, send in your manuscript for a careful ‘going-over’ to ensure your work is polished and professional. This includes a recommendation on typeface and pagination and other physical characteristics that may affect the way your manuscript is regarded by a reader before anything is actually read.
> Proofreading and Editing for Professional Documents
Word Central has many years of experience in developing materials such as corporate strategy, product information, staff publications, customer brochures and press materials and newsletters.
We’re all about being clear and concise by making professional documents easy to understand using an open, friendly tone without replying on jargon, and avoiding the ‘bureau-speak’ of confusing acronyms and tired analogies.
> Proofreading and Editing for Academic Articles
In today’s universities, many academics find their time in competition between teaching, correction and subject preparation with the demands of research and writing for journals.
It may be that you have a great passion for research in your field of endeavour, but find the process of writing difficult and the editing of your own work excruciating.
Our careful scrutiny ensures that academic articles are correctly cited, well structured and ready for submission.
> Collaborative Document Creation
Picture this: you, sitting at your computer full of frustration, watching the cursor blink as you try – once again – to paint a glorious and persuasive picture with words that would secure a grant or a commission.
Now picture this: you and I, in a quiet space, perhaps with a coffee or tea (and maybe some muffins). You’re pacing, talking, gesticulating, staring out the window; or perhaps sitting next to me. I’m the one with my head bent over the computer, my fingers whizzing across the keyboard as I capture and shape your ideas as they flow out.
This service is all about taking the stress out of writing submissions and tenders, and it is an ideal way for artists, small businesses or community organisations to shape creativity and ideas into the right words.
