Editing services

We can edit your printed and online documents to a very high standard of clarity to meet the needs of  your intended audience.


When providing our editing service we draw on decades of experience and expertise. Our editing suggestions are based on research carried out, and principles developed, since the mid-70s.


When we edit a document, we bring it up to the standard required to gain a Crystal Mark, our seal of approval. However, you do not have to want a Crystal Mark to have your document edited.

Editing services

If you have a document you would like us to edit, or you want more information,  please email us at  info@plainenglish.co.uk.


We will send you a no-obligation estimate of cost and timescale. We do our best to meet any reasonable deadline we are made aware of.


Our corporate members get a discount on our editing fees.


Proofreading

We also provide a proofreading service to check the spelling, structure and grammatical accuracy of text. This service doesn’t involve rewriting the document.


For more information on this service, email us at info@plainenglish.co.uk.


Producing summaries

If you have a very long document which is off-putting to readers due to its length or formal tone, or which is unsuitable for editing, we can produce a plain-English, consumer-friendly summary for you.


If you want to know more about this service, email us at info@plainenglish.co.uk.
