Some clients prefer to develop internally their documentation content and we review or restructure their documentation to optimize its quality.
Once this is done, they opt for the Intermediate Editing Services to polish their content. Here is what they get:
• All tasks for basic editing services
• Tighten wording
• Eliminate sexism
• Check for logical flaws in arguments or
plots
• Cross-check bibliographic references
and footnotes
• Check permissions if needed
• Edit artwork, marks design elements
and styles for typesetting
• Changing text and heading to achieve
parallel structure
• Flagging inappropriate figures of
speech
• Ensuring that key terms are handled
consistently and that vocabulary lists
and the index contain all the terms
that meet criteria specified
• Ensuring that previews, summaries
and end-of-chapter questions reflect
content
• In fiction manuscripts, tracking the
continuity of plot, setting and character
traits and querying discrepancies
• In a multiauthor manuscript, enforcing
consistent style and tone
• Changing passive voice to active
voice, if requested
• Flagging ambiguous or incorrect
statements
