Guide to Editing Services

Enhance your business documents with editorial publishing services


Editing services need to match the style used by your company. The right professional editing services can help optimize the image of your business and maximize the use of your documents. Editorial services can edit your business plans, advertising documents, corporate reports and training manuals.

Be sure the work flow of the editing services matches that of your business. You can start by submitting some of your business work samples to a few companies. Other ideas include:

1. Read the submission process for several editorial and literary service providers.

2. Review client testimonials for editorial companies.

3. Make sure the company offers business editorial services, not just literary or academic editing.


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Decide the primary purpose for using an editing service Will you need a business editor for your web site, business plan, business letters or other use? It will help you narrow down your choices if you know the biggest demand for editing service your business requires.

I recommend:  ACE Copyediting.com offers a variety of editing services for small business owners. If you require business editing and data analysis, consider using the expertise of A+ English LLC.

Check turnaround times for editorial services Make sure the company is clear about their turnaround time for editing your documents. Decide if you want an editorial company with different rates based on turnaround time.

I recommend:  SPI Publisher Services offers a detailed list of their turnaround times depending on the length of your document. EditAvenue.com offers an express editing service for shorter documents.

Pick editorial companies that allow you to track your document You may want updates on the progress of your editing job for a client or co-worker. It's also useful to have an editing service that allows you to track changes made to your documents.

I recommend:  The Write Elements allows you to submit an e-mail to check the status of your business document. PaperCheck allows you to track changes made.

Use editorial publishing services that list editor's credentials Take time to read the credentials of those handling your business documents. This will help you narrow down which editorial and literary service providers to use based on your business needs.

I recommend:  Edit911.com promises PhD editors and copywriters. At EditAvenue.com, you can look at available editors and their credentials.

Clarify the submission process for editing services Make sure the technology requirements of the editing service are compatible with your business needs.

I recommend:  Scribendi Inc. gives a detail list of what you need to submit documents to them for editing. American Journal Experts lists their submission guidelines for your business documents.
