Copy Editing

Whether you are writing for the web or print, the quality and accuracy of your text is crucial.

A professional editor can identify possible improvements to sentence structure and basic expression, as well as correcting spelling and grammatical errors.

Red Pony editors are experienced in reviewing all types of corporate communications. We can bring consistency of style and tone to a document, particularly one that has been written by multiple contributors.

Our copy editing services will result in a better style and structure while helping to crystallise your message and eliminate errors.

Professional advice from experienced editors

Do you have an important document that needs reviewing and you don’t know where to start?

We can advise you on the extent of changes and recommend a structural edit where required.

We will undertake a thorough review of your document, correcting:

• spelling and grammar
• use of punctuation
• appropriateness of language
• consistency of terminology and style
• structure and clarity
• overall presentation.

Red Pony employs editors with a range of skills and specialisations to ensure we make the best match with your project. We understand the different requirements of online and printed forms and will help to craft your text accordingly.

Where appropriate, we will provide a style sheet noting all word forms, abbreviations and other conventions unique to the document.

Maintaining the author’s ‘voice’

Red Pony editors are experts at improving overall readability without compromising the original style or intent. We understand the importance of retaining the authentic ‘voice’ of the original author.

By employing ‘track changes’ for suggestions or modifications and by inserting editor’s comments as appropriate we provide maximum clarity as to the rationale for modifications and empower the client to retain ownership of the material.

Taking the pain out of the process

We go to great lengths to ensure that working with Red Pony is easy.

Our 'capped time and materials’ model for providing quotes offers clients complete transparency of project costs.

Our online project collaboration tool allows us to exchange files securely while maintaining version control, as well as providing a forum for all project communications.

The final format of your edited document is up to you. We can provide recommended changes in Microsoft Word using the 'track changes' function, as an Adobe PDF file using the in-built editing tools, or in hardcopy using standard proofreading marks.
