Editing

Editing includes improving the style of your text as well as checking it for grammatical and spelling errors.

Improving the style means improving the accuracy of language, coherence, and flow of the text - in short its overall readability.

Of course, we also make sure your text is adapted to the culture of your target audience (cultural adaptation).
