How can Editing and Proofreading enhance your business?
As anyone who has ever written a business document knows, it’s incredibly difficult to edit your own words and spot potential problems and errors. In addition, most businesses don’t have an editor on staff who can check important documents before they are published. Unchecked errors can make you and your business look unprofessional to your audience and potentially drive them away. It can also be costly if errors are noticed after printing and you have to pulp your print run and reprint. That’s why it’s important to employ the services of an experienced editor and proofreader.

Not sure if you need editing or proofreading? Or both?
If you’re not sure if you need copy editing or proofreading services or both, simply contact Breezy Words. I’ll ask you to send through some sample pages of your document. Once I’ve looked at the sample, I’ll suggest the best way to move forward with your document and give you a fixed project quote. All documents are treated in the strictest confidence.
We used Breezy Words to reduce administration time and improve our professional documents. Working with Jane was incredibly easy. Her prompt replies to emails ensured that we were both on the same page. Jane’s communication was of a very high standard. She articulated the timeline and process clearly, which reduced my stress levels. The final product was more than I expected. It was a really great experience, and we will definitely use her service again.
