Editorial services for writers, publishers and businesses

If you need help getting your message across clearly to your chosen audience, I’m here to assist you.

I’m Alex Burman, a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).

I can proofread, edit or write copy for your publications, whether books, sales materials or business communications.

It can be difficult to spot mistakes in something you have written and it can be helpful to have it looked at by a ‘fresh pair of eyes’. Or perhaps you simply don’t have time to proofread everything in house.

Here’s what I can do for you:

• Create new copy or enhance your own to help your readers understand your message quickly and clearly
• Fix errors and inconsistencies in spelling, grammar and punctuation
• Help to ensure your material is well suited to its purpose and your target audience
• Advise on formatting, layout, structure and style.

I take a reader-centred approach aiming to smooth out ‘bumps’ in a text that might confuse or distract the reader. Making these improvements helps to communicate your message clearly and leaves the reader with a good impression.

I offer tailored services to publishers, business clients and authors; please see the individual pages on my website.
