Editing

Editing is an essential part of producing any written material. All types of publications – small or large – can benefit from an expert eye.

We will ensure that your writing is clear, concise, consistent and error-free, to help you communicate effectively with your readers. We can also look at the overall structure of your publication to make sure it is presented in a clear and logical fashion. We will check any diagrams, charts and illustrations to make sure they reflect the text, and that they are in the logical place. We will work closely with you throughout the editing process so that the final publication meets your expectations. You can even give us a call before you start and we will help you plan your project.

At MHPS we offer a full range of editorial services.

Developmental and structural editing
We can work with you at any stage of your project to ensure you are heading in the right direction, and provide advice about how to structure your publication and develop the content. We can also help you turn complicated or technical language into plain English.

Copy editing
Don't know your nouns from your adverbs? Scared of the split infinitive? Don't worry – we can sort it out for you. We will ensure that your grammar and punctuation are correct, ensure consistency of style throughout your publication, and check that you are using language appropriate to your audience. We will also suggest additions, deletions and other changes if appropriate.

Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process. Your publication will be checked for accuracy, consistency, correct spelling and grammar, correct use of punctuation and layout errors.
