We offer professional editing for publications and documents of all kinds, polishing your copy and helping it to reach the page free of errors, legal worries or consistency concerns.
Copy editing is the “full service” option, going beyond merely proofreading. We do, of course, ensure everything is spelled correctly and the grammar is flawless, but can also rewrite as appropriate to fit a target audience, cut to a specified length while retaining the story’s essence, improve literary flow, ensure stylistic consistency, check facts and offer advice. We can edit plain text or work with page layouts, and can also write headlines, captions and other page elements as appropriate.
We offer unlimited feedback by phone or email on any project for the duration of the job and will stay in regular contact to ensure the finished document is just how you want it to be.
Rivers Editorial offers the experience of more than 20 years in the publishing business, with a focus on copy editing and subediting for a variety of newspapers, magazines, books and websites. We work in British or American English (and can outsource jobs in many other languages) and can accommodate flexible/unsociable hours and tight deadlines.
Our copy editing services particularly suit consumer titles, books, individual articles, business and promotional literature, or personal materials. Please contact us to discuss your project.
