We've edited, proofread and formatted publications for Aotearoa New Zealand government agencies for over 18 years.

We work to your specific style and branding guide, to your deadlines and any additional requirements. All material is kept strictly confidential.
How we work
Contact us for an estimate and our availability, and attach the draft of your document if possible. Otherwise, an approximate word count of the final length will do.
We'll keep everything confidential, whether we end up working with you or not.
On a budget?
If you're working to a particular budget, let us know and we'll tailor our estimate to that, providing options if possible.
Job summaries and contracts
For larger or more complex jobs, we'll provide you a summary of the job details on a job sheet for easy reference. For smaller jobs, a summary on email is usual enough. We're also happy to sign statements of work, contracts or 'lite' contracts as requested.
Deposits
Sometimes we ask for a 25% non-refundable deposit to hold your dates for you, if another client is interested in the same dates. This is for lost income in case your job is cancelled or the dates change.
Marking up your document
Once your job is confirmed, we'll edit your document in Microsoft Word using 'Track Changes' and explain changes using 'Comments'. This keeps you in control of your material so you can accept or reject any change.
We can also proofread PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro. Please enquire about other formats if required.
Wondering if our editing will work for you?
We can send you a sample of the first few pages of editing to make sure it meets your needs.
