WRITING

Your needs may be …

as simple as a business letter …
as complex as an annual report …
as complicated as multi-layered content for your Web site …

You may need text for brochures, newsletters, flyers or perhaps you want to write an article for publication. 

Whatever your writing needs, we can help. Our professional writers can take your information and turn it into copy that will convey what you want it to say in a clear, direct and interesting prose that is grammatically and syntactically correct.

You may have heard it said that grammar isn’t important, that it’s the content that counts. Yes, content is the most important part of writing, but to make content count, it’s got to be grammatically correct so that it says what it is supposed to say. We provide you with this kind of content.

Here’s how it works:

You provide us with full, accurate information and an outline of what you are trying to achieve. We also need to know as much as possible about the the audience you want to reach. If necessary, we can guide you through an interview process to get the relevant data. We may come back to you with more questions or for clarifications. Sometimes, if appropriate, we may suggest another approach to the project. When the first draft is done, you read it and tell us what you’d like to change. We will incorporate your ideas and submit drafts until you are pleased with the final product. The job isn’t done until you are satisfied.

Rates will vary according to the scope, complexity and timetable of the project (see our rates page).

Please note: We do not under any circumstances write essays, theses, dissertations or other original assignments for students. We do offer Academic Editing services for such documents.

10 Steps to Better Writing

  WRITING is a real challenge for some folks. In some cases, they just don't know where to start. They “choke up” when sitting in front of the blinking cursor on their computer. Others don't know how to logically express their thoughts. Still others resort to stilted language that slows down the reader.
  Good writing, even for professionals, can be hard work, and there are no shortcuts. Here are some tips that might help you with your writing:

1. Know your audience. In other words, know the person or group you are writing for.

2. Do your research before you start to write.

3. Make an outline of your main points in descending order of importance.

4. Write a draft.

5. Use as few words as possible to say what you want to say.

6. Use words that you know. Use the dictionary to make sure your words say precisely what you mean.

7. Edit your draft. Read it several times

8. Doublecheck your spelling. Spellcheckers are wonderful tools, but they don't catch words that sound the same but are spelled differently: they're, their, there, for instance. Check your grammar. Incorrect grammar can change the meaning of sentences and convey the wrong message.

9. Rewrite — as many times as necessary.

10. If possible, get someone else to read what you have written before you send it or publish it.
