The Sound Proof
“No author dislikes to be edited as much as he dislikes not to be published.”
— J. Russell Lynes
The orphan. The widow. The extra space after the period. The inconsistent punctuation in the bulleted list. The unintentional change in font size, style, or color. If you’re counting on a run-of-the-mill spell-checker to be your friend, think again. Consider it a foe to a clean, error-free document.
The Sound Proof is here to serve — whenever you need us. If necessary, we can accommodate turnaround times of less than 24 hours. Just send us an email and let us know your deadline.
We look at all documents comprehensively, whether you’re getting a simple proofread or an extensive edit, always taking into account the format and graphic elements, not just the words. We know spelling, grammar, and punctuation are fundamental, but we can’t help but consider every nuance of the documents we proofread and edit.
It doesn’t matter if an observation is outside of the scope; if we see something that would make your document look better, we’ll let you know. It’s what we do — and we love it! We thoroughly enjoy analyzing any material we receive. Our goal is to make anything you’re doing with words shine. If you’re a copywriter, we can edit your copy to make sure it connects with your intended audience. However, we are careful to respect the writer’s original intent when making suggestions.
The majority of our clients use AP style in addition to a house style guide created for their organization. We are adept at quickly assimilating these house style guides into our work flow. This important skill enables us to handle rapid-turnaround assignments for marketing firms and advertising agencies. We have even created style guides for clients, which have helped to foster brand identity in their publications and increase the effectiveness of their written communications.
When deciding whether to give us a try, we know the cost of our services will be a significant part of your decision-making process. Our rates are competitive within the industry, but they vary according to job type. Contact us for a free quote.
We invoice our clients via email upon completion of the work requested. If your company needs to set up special invoicing or payment terms for high-frequency assignments, just let us know. We’ll be happy to work with you! Keep in mind that we are able to proofread and edit copy using many styles, so don’t hesitate to consider us for all of your proofreading and editing needs.
