What you can expect from us

We aim to be your final stop in creating flawless, impactful text. You simply choose the service or services that will help you achieve the result you need. Our rates are competitive and transparent, which means there won’t be any surprises when it comes to admin.

We recognise that the content we refine goes beyond the page. Our services are crafted to breathe life into every piece, ensuring it not only fulfils its intended purpose but also inspires and engages. From marketing campaigns to academic papers and business communications, we bring your work to life and ensure it has a lasting impact.

Editing and proofreading

To ensure that the revised content you receive back from us meets your expectations and objectives, please take note of the distinction between editing and proofreading. We fully recognise that many authors now use AI to various degrees to draft content, so we also specialise in transforming these texts to ensure that they resonate with a genuine human touch. We work in both US and UK English (this website uses UK English, while academic journals often require US English).

The following can be added to any proofreading or editing project:

  • Formatting check, e.g. spacing, paragraph indents, consistent heading styles
  • Reference check (e.g. for academic papers) according to the relevant conventions: In-text references and full reference list, as well as a cross-check between these.

Content creation

We can help you craft clear, authentic content that is tailored to your target readers and achieves your communication objectives. By leveraging information architecture, we design content structures that enhance clarity and engagement across all mediums:

  • Marketing messaging: web content, newsletters, brochures, social media
  • Business communication: external and internal, including training material, reports and presentations
  • Digital and print formats

For academic papers, please note: We do not offer writing services in the context of academic papers and dissertations – it’s unethical. We are however happy to assist with your academic institution’s general content needs, such as blogs, media releases and social media posts. 

Transcreation/Translation

Our translation (or rather transcreation, for context) services involve the following:

  • We mostly do translations from various source languages into US or UK English, but we are also happy to work the other way around.
  • Our translations are always contextual, considering vocabulary and phrasing relevant to the target audience and geographical area, which is why we often refer to “transcreation”.
  • The translator will have professional language experience in the target language.
  • We never send a “raw” translation and include a proofread of the translated text in the service.
  • Where possible, we offer clients the option of AI-assisted translations, where we check the quality of the content generated by a large language model.

Visual communication and information architecture

Before your readers register even one word of your text, visual presentation of your content already affects their perception. That is why integrating content with visual communication is crucial.

Our expertise in information architecture enables us to effectively plan, structure and present your content in a way that is attractive, easy to read and, most importantly, supportive of the key messages you want to convey.
