Many people say that one of the most difficult parts of their everyday job duties involves producing a communication that comes across as effectively as possible for the intended audience. Certain care and plenty of effort should go into making sure that the communication is well presented, but more often than not, some errors creep in. Such oversights are far from uncommon and can affect even the most detailed writer. What’s more unfortunate is that the errors may seem inconsequential, but they can in fact leave a bad impression. Take, for example, business plans and presentations in which the most minute error can mean negative repercussions. Such errors in communication can affect an author’s reputation and, possibly, that author’s level of success.
How important is it to produce flawless communications?
In academia, both students and teachers have to work on slews of documents and literature, including dissertations, reports, and lesson plans. Errors in any of those documents are definite no-nos if one expects respect from peers in the field and high grades from instructors.
In business, it is considered good business practice to ensure that all documents are concise, accurate, and straightforward. Effective communication also serves to win more customers and thereby bring the business more success. Anything less than precision of language in business documents can negatively affect a business’s level of success.
The road to that success can hardly be paved by just one person, though, which is why help is needed to ensure the best execution. In the case of achieving the production of flawless communications, EditAmerica’s Copy Editing Services can stand up to the job.
EditAmerica works closely with clients to review and materially enhance all types of written communications to make sure that the overall quality of the writing is top-notch and error free.

Superior quality and outstanding customer service are the main thrusts of EditAmerica’s dealings with every client and with every document. Clients make many specific requests, and they are guaranteed that their every document will be reviewed thoroughly—according to their own house styles—and developed to be more effective.

When it comes to perfecting communications, there are no shortcuts. Copy editing is no easy task; it demands a lot of time and energy from the editor. But with EditAmerica’s Copy Editing Services, that overwhelming task can be taken off clients’ hands and turned over to a professional service that can do the work more effectively—and masterfully. All that clients need do is sit back and relax, knowing they will soon be receiving documents that will push them one step closer to success.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this value info on copy editing I had had a little in-house training in copy-editing . but I appear to have become more
of a copy-editor than a proofreader.
Thank you,
Jane
I usually always know the correct answer. I had advanced grammar in college and lived out of the Chicago Manual of Style when I was an editor. It’s just difficult to catch your own errors.
ReplyDeleteJack
It may have been mentioned, but I do adore Lynn Truss', "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves". Lucid, useful, and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes the style guides are just wrong.
Thanks,
Amy
I do find it difficult to be my own copyeditor.
ReplyDeleteI know what I intended to say, so I auto correct
in my head if it is wrong on the page. But I agree
that it is more important to give wings to the content
than to obsess over making it perfect.

Look on the top right-hand side of the Thanks so much for getting in touch! on
ReplyDeleteHow much should I charge for freelance copy-editing services?
ReplyDeleteI have come to the conclusion that I need help editing/polishing my script to have it finalized. I am wondering what a good editing service may be
ReplyDeletethat doesn't cost to much?.
Copy editors have always been my heroes.
ReplyDeleteI'm editing the book reviews for a journal. Feeling an overwhelming urge to go and buy a lot of books. Stop me, someone!
ReplyDeleteAsking the readers to compare EditAmerica copy editing services with other sites that offer copy editing services is a sort of turn off. Just focus on EditAmerica and the benefits that people can get if they avail the copy editing services of EditAmerica and not from other sites or people.
ReplyDeleteHow can I avail the copy editing services of EditAmerica? Also, what are the ways to pay for their copy editing services? Is it through credit cards, PayPal or are the other ways on how I could pay for it? I really need someone that could offer good copy editing services that do not cost that much.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you! There was an instance wherein my colleague presented the financial standing of our company without availing copy editing services and she got some digits wrong. She didn’t know what to do after that. One of our colleagues told us that she should avail copy editing services in the future to avoid committing those and mistakes. Good thing she’s availing copy editing services now so all of her reports are correct already.
ReplyDeleteI have availed the copy editing services of EditAmerica before and I have to say that the copy editing services that they offer are worth the fees that they ask for. There are a lot of people that offer copy editing services and I have tried some of those, but the one offered by EditAmerica is still exceptional. I really recommend this.
ReplyDeleteI really think that availing copy editing services is a must! Whether it is for school or for work, it’s just so hard to commit mistakes. It’s not just the grade or work that is at stake. The name of the student or the company is at stake as well so I really think people should avail copy editing services. They could ask their friends or look for websites that offer copy editing services. So it is really better to be safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteCommitting mistakes is inevitable but having someone that offers proofreading services and could actually correct those mistakes makes the situation avoidable. Proofreading services are offered all over the world and it really helps a person to commit mistakes or to submit documents that have mistakes. It’s really just a matter of looking for the perfect person or website that offers good proofreading services and could actually understand what the nature of the document is.
ReplyDeleteIf there is one thing I hate about proofreading services, it would be the lack of constructive criticism. I mean I get it they just offer proofreading services but it would be much better if there is feedback as well on how the paper was written and so on. Proofreading services may correct the grammar and all but if the writer wouldn’t know why that was corrected, then he/she would keep on committing that mistake over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that offering proofreading services for the field of finance and law is a very tedious task. I mean you need to double or triple check everything since the smallest mistake could change everything. A friend of mine offered proofreading services to a company before and she regretted taking that job. Yes, she earned from that but the process is very stressful. So I really admire the people that offer proofreading services to those fields. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree on this one especially the one about the punctuation marks. A wrong punctuation mark could really mess everything up. Good thing copy editing services are offered anytime, anywhere. Sites that offer proofreading services are really everywhere and I think that helps. It’s just a matter of finding the one that offers good copy editing services at a good cost as well.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree on this. Papers and other school documents should really be copy edited. I am a student and I avail copy editing services for my papers. Each time I submit my papers that I have passed through copy editing services, I get higher grades. Actually, it’s not just a matter of grades. It’s also showing my professors that I know what I am talking about and that all of my papers are of the good quality. So it’s really okay to pay for the copy editing services of other people if in the end, I get what I want and what I deserve.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I really do think that copy editing services are heaven sent. They really save the lives of many people! Second, I think copy editing services aren’t for the rushed jobs only. Sometimes, we just want to make sure that whatever we pass is really flawless and is something that we could be proud of. So I guess it’s really a must to avail one for all of the jobs that we do.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of the comments on the article; they are appreciated. This is a onetime reply because there are an overwhelming number of comments, and each of them would deserve response. I don't have time to correct the comments because of being swamped with client assignments to process every day. For a free estimate of the cost and turnaround time for an assignment you might like reviewed, contact EditAmerica anytime by either phone or e-mail. And thank you to all of those who know my work and have followed it for years.
ReplyDeleteI think mistakes are really unacceptable especially if you want to impress someone like your professor, your boss or your client. Sometimes, we just get to giddy when we write something and we print it right away. That’s just not right! We should learn how to avail copy editing services even if we need to pay for it. services is really useful and worth the money we pay for. If it hadn’t been for the copy editing services that I have availed before, I would have gotten into trouble and even lost my job. So copy editing is really a must!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Afennell
I haven’t really encountered EditAmerica copy editing services before since I get the copy editing services of other websites. But sometimes, I tend to send my papers to a lot of websites to make sure that I get the opinion of many people. I might consider the copy editing services of EditAmerica in my next paper. Thanks! Azinkhan
ReplyDeleteHow much do your services cost in general? Before, I ask my friends for their help so I get copy editing services for free. Since we are all busy now with our thesis and other school requirements, I think I would need to your services even if I need to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!Marco
