Use an
Editor? Editing and Writing is not likely to be your core business. Yet one of the most important things you do is communicate. Everything from training manuals to product fact sheets to your website all require the same thing: clarity. It's often a challenge to convey information about your business to others, particularly if you are in a technical area. An outsider can always take a fresh approach and at the same time ensure that what you say is in the very best English. Editors' have an interest in getting words right. They are also the best people to people to use to ensure that the grammar and punctuation are correct, and that the writing style is consistent. Teams of people - for example engineers, often produce many documents. They all have different styles and your editor will take all of that work and develop a consistent, uniform style. The quality of publications you publish reflects your professionalism and wish to communicate well. Why Outsource? It will cost less. You only pay for what you use and that will include years of experience that you may not have in house. There are no overheads, just a flat fee, negotiated according to the degree of research and other activities that go beyond basic editing. You get undivided focus. You get somebody who enjoys doing the work rather than someone who takes on "yet another task". Why Renew? Experience. Bill Parker has been writing in science and technology for thirty years.
