Professional Copy Editing Services for Publishers and Non Publishers from Claire Annals / Ace Support Services in Worksop

For Publishers

  • Copy-editing on-screen or on paper — using your style guides and brief.
  • Substantial experience of working with multi-language users.
  • Coding and/or styling documents for typesetting.
  • Creating artwork and permissions logs.
  • Creating or amending style guides and composition instructions.
  • Liaising with authors and typesetters/designers.

For Non-publishers

Whether you are writing an e-book, business flyer, an annual report, a web page, blog or a brochure it is very easy for errors to creep in — no matter how many times you go over it. No matter the size or intention, I can help to finalise your text with my professional copy-editing services.

  • Is your use of grammar, punctuation and spelling correct?
  • Are you addressing your audience correctly? — too much jargon could be confusing if you are trying to launch your business to a new market.
  • Is the text readable? Is it complete or are there sections that you meant to go back to that were forgotten?
  • Is there any content that you may need to seek permission for before publication — such as reproduction of images or text?
  • Where should you put that apostrophe and should this be in quote marks?
  • Perhaps you are self-publishing your own book or e-book and need help developing your writing, or English isn’t your first language and you want to check that your message is getting across.

What is copy-editing and my copy-editing services explained

Copy-editing, in essence, is the taking of raw in-edited text/content and turning it into a format that is ready for publication for any given media. The aim of a good copy-editor is to ensure that the outcome is accurate, easy to follow, fit for purpose and free of error, inconsistencies and repetition. I work with clients around the world to produce content they are proud of.
