Services

IMPECCABLE PROSE offers writing, copyediting, and proofreading services to authors and organizations.

We bring to bear 20 years’ experience in academic, business, and medical publishing. When clarity and accuracy are key, you can rely on us.

IMPECCABLE PROSE works with clients of all types and specializes in meeting their particular needs. Our standards are exacting but our work is tailored to each project.

We offer four distinct services:

Writing: Whatever you want to say, we can help you say it clearly and effectively. We create content and signals that connect with your intended audience, but also work well with search engines and other machine processes.
Substantive Edit: We review the entire manuscript in hardcopy or electronic format and offer constructive comments, ask clarifying questions, and suggest refinements to organization.
Copyediting: We read the entire manuscript in electronic format and make changes as needed to enforce 1) clarity, 2) correctness, 3) conciseness, 4) comprehension, and 5) consistency.
Proofreading: Proofreading takes place after the manuscript has been made ready for publication. It entails a painstaking review of every line of the entire document, character by character, and aims to correct errors still present or introduced after copyediting.

Each service can be performed individually or in combination. We are adept at enforcing the leading style guides in each discipline.

A brief “kickoff” meeting, in person or by phone, can be arranged prior to each service. Likewise, a brief meeting at the conclusion of each service can be arranged to discuss the nature of the work performed and ensure satisfaction.

IMPECCABLE PROSE offers high-quality editorial work at rates that compare favorably with any other source. If you'd like a personalized estimate, contact us or send us a sample of your work. We'll review it and promptly reply with a no-obligation estimate of timing and cost. Estimates are based on brief samples of your manuscript. We accept payment via Paypal, and other means can be arranged.

Privacy statement: We will not spam you nor share your email address with anyone else.

Our rates are competitive but our quality is unsurpassed. Let's talk about your project!
