Copy editing
From basic formatting and error correction to major restructuring, condensing and rewriting, we will work to your brief and house style to produce a clear and engaging manuscript.
Proofreading and checking
Printed proofs marked up with textual corrections plus checking of page layouts, images, page numbering, headings, tables of contents and indexes.
Indexing
Professional indexing of all printed works to suit the project budget and the space available.
Design and page layout
We can handle all aspects of typesetting, page layout, scanning and image processing, proofing and proof correction. We can then liaise with your printer to produce print-ready files to their specification, or we can arrange and manage the print for you.

Why not let us handle the entire project from start to finish? We will work with your commissioned author and handle all aspects of submission, scheduling, editing, design and page layout, proofing and print production.
