General editing services
- If you want us to edit your documents but don’t need Clear English Standard accreditation, we’ll gladly do so. Please ask for an estimate of the cost for a particular document.
- Our editing service can be useful for internal reports or business-to-business legal documents. It’s also valuable for standard letters that change often or that your staff are always customizing – whereas with Clear English Standard accreditation you’d need to keep returning to us to agree the changes. See ‘LetterCheck’ below.
- You’ll normally get a 4-day turn-round.
Editing of anything
Email your document in Word or pdf and we’ll provide an estimate.
LetterCheck
To your customers, your letters and emails are some of the most important documents they get. If they are well expressed, they give a favourable impression of your organization. But if they are poor – with grammatical errors, jargon, weak punctuation and misspellings – they can damage your reputation. So whether your team is dealing with complaints, enquiries or legal matters, its letters and emails need to be consistently good.
We can help you achieve this by giving detailed editing suggestions on paper or in Word (using ‘track changes’) on all your standard-form letters. If we don’t find any problems, we’ll say so and reduce our charges to reflect this.
We can also examine a sample of your team’s one-off letters, comment on them, and repeat the exercise when needed. This helps to maintain standards and identify difficulties that can be resolved through one-to-one or whole-team coaching.
Please send a selection of your letters and ask for a quotation.
Accreditation of your letter-writing service
You can get our Clear English Service accreditation of your team’s letter-writing service and keep it up to date with regular (say quarterly) checks. Alongside the editing we’d do, there’d be an agreed plan of writing-skills training.
