Getting it right the first time does matter. Don't let your customers stumble over nonstandard usage, colloquial grammar, or sound-alike alternate words that your spell-check doesn't catch. A professional editor can make your presentation bulletproof in these distracting areas. Your clients do judge you by your written materials. Often those written materials are the first (or only!) thing a potential customer will see. Make the right impression the first time. Have a professional editor polish your copy.
I have spent the past 19 years writing and editing reports for financial, legal and real estate investor clients. Making a strong point in clear and concise English can mean the difference in a million-dollar transaction being consummated or being scrapped. Crisp declarative sentences, detailed descriptions when necessary, and removal of every unnecessary modifier combine to create clear communication free of excess verbiage.
My services allow the client to slam out the gist of their message without regard to the niceties, submit the rough text to my office, and receive in return polished copy that will focus the reader on the product, not the wording of the message. As author Jodi Picoult says, “You can edit bad; you can’t edit blank.” (BBC World Service 20-06-09)
