Structural Editing
It can be hard to be objective when you’re the one responsible for the words on the page. That’s where Red Pony can help.
Some documents require more than a basic edit and can benefit from fundamental changes to the overall structure.
Structural editing is similar to copy editing but, as the
name suggests, involves a more wide-ranging review of the content that considers structural changes to the document to improve the flow and narrative logic.
CASE
STUDY
Due to the considerable interest in their community engagement ‘fundamentals’ training course from other government agencies and NGOs, the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment decided to develop a training package that could be used 'out-of-the-box'.
Red Pony examined the content being delivered in the training and developed an overall structure for the package.

Informed, impartial advice
Sometimes it’s hard to know whether your document is serving its purpose, or missing the mark altogether. Sometimes what you need is informed, impartial advice to not only identify potential problems, but to suggest practical solutions.
We can review your document and advise you as to the extent of editing required. In the case of structural edits, we not only provide suggested structural modifications, but also a rationale to help you decide whether you wish to implement these changes.
Editor’s report
An editor’s report is the perfect option for clients who want to get a second opinion or who are not sure what is the best approach to take when reviewing a document or suite of documents.
A Red Pony editor’s report provides a comprehensive set of recommendations for improving the language, style, structure, format and layout from an independent communications professional.
