Good Word is more than a proof reading service. Our goal is to ensure that your text is technically correct and that it says what you want to communicate effectively.

We will check:

The grammar and spelling.
Your writing style to ensure it is appropriate to the genre.
That the text is clear
 



Genre of Work

i. Academic essays: you are a student and want your work checked by experienced teachers

ii. Journal articles: before submitting your work to a journal, we will confirm the requirements the journal has for submissions and proof your article.

iii. Brochures: Your business needs to be perceived positively by your clients. A high standard of English in your advertising and promotional material indicates to your clients that you take care with the quality of your work.

iv. Instruction manuals: if you produce software, electronic goods or other products that require instructions for assembly the text must be accurate, clear and complete.

v. Books: our experienced editorial team can proof read your text.

vi. In-house business publications: orientation booklets for staff, annual magazines in-house news bulletins are used to improve and maintain staff welfare and moral. It is essential that these be accurate.

vii. Business/consultancy reports for clients: a report for a client must be clear, accurate and correct. We will proof read your report and provide a rapid return service.


Level of Service Required

 

Grammar and spelling (but maintaining characteristics of the writer's World English style) for personal presentations. The minimum of changes so the speaker will be comfortable making the presentation and confident that it is good English.

Grammar, spelling and style (involves rewording to achieve a level of International English). Best for texts that will have a readership from a wide range of countries.

Grammar, spelling, style and structure (suggestions will be given but rewriting is the authors responsibility). Mainly for academic writings and reports for journals that require a specific style of writing.

Ready for Publication: send us your text and we will edit it and return it to you ready for print.
