Here is an explanation of editing and proofreading, as some people do not understand the importance of them for their documents. Whether it is an email, blog, magazine or newspaper article, novel, short story, essay, dissertation, legal document, real estate documentation, term paper, website or novel, editing is very important.
Writing skills are the same as first impressions, especially if you need to use your writing skills for the first time to contact someone new. It could be an application letter to a college/university or an email to a potential employer. It may be a blog you want to send to gain new customers, or an email to potential new clients. In these situations, what you write and how you write it is your chance to leave a lasting good impression on someone you’ve never met before.
When ordering from me, you will receive a complete check of all your work, from the first word to the last full stop. I offer a complete English editing and proofreading service.
