Resources for Editing 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Clarify the submission process for editing services

Make sure the technology requirements of the editing service are compatible with your business needs.
