Work on the content is done and you have brought together all of your ideas into your text? Now it’s our turn! Whether English or German, we have the qualified native speaker for your editing needs.
We offer two kinds of textual editing and corrections with differing depths: the lighter proofreading and the more thorough copy-editing. Below are examples and descriptions to help you choose which service is right for you. If you are still unsure, you are welcome to send us a copy of your text to receive our expert recommendation and a 2-3 page sample of the edits and changes that we would make.
If you need a job to be done at short notice then our Express Service is perfect for you – guaranteeing your text edited and returned within 48 hours. Please contact us by phone ((+49)178 3714615) to make sure that we have available capacity!
If you have any additional requests or any specific or required guidelines then don’t hesitate to get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can tailor an offer to suit your needs.
