Measure Twice, Cut Once
graphic copyediting
Some things are irreversible—such as dropping the mail at the post office, instructing the printer to start the presses, or telling your advertising agent it's a go. Before you cut the final, irreversible copy of your project, make sure you have it precisely right: contact a professional copyeditor to take a second measurement.

You need a professional copyeditor when

...you have a significant message to communicate to your clients, patrons, colleagues, or employees.

...you have a personal or professional stake in the words, phrases, and composition.

...you have looked at your project so many times that you know what it says without reading the words.

You need Concepts in Communication
as your copyeditor when

...you want personal and prompt attention.

...you want to work in partnership with an experienced professional.

...you demand perfection.


Taking the Second Measurement

Concepts in Communication will review your work with fresh eyes, trained to catch embarrassing errors and latent mishaps that lurk in the background waiting to jump out at your readers. You reap the benefit of clear, correct, concise copy that communicates your message as you intend and generates your desired response.

Each job, regardless of size, gets the same thorough edit:

word-by-word for spelling, capitalization, hyphenation, clarity, usage, accuracy, connotation.

line-by-line for grammar, syntax, conciseness, punctuation, voice, tense, parallelism, authenticity.

page-by-page for tone, consistency, logical development, format, adherence to style.


Document Format

We accept both hard copy and electronic files.

Hard copy. Edits and comments on hard copy are hand-written in the margins using proofreader's marks.

Electronic files. Edits and comments on electronic files are entered directly into the document using Word's Track Changes feature.


Copyedit Plus Rewrite

As an additional service, when the copyedit is completed, we can rewrite your document to incorporate changes and revisions.
