You need clean copy, and PJC Editing & Proofreading is ready to help.
Here's how partnering with PJC will bring value to your business:
-
Gain an advantage over your competitors: Most small businesses do not have staff editors, writers or editorial departments. Working with a professional editor gives you a much-needed edge.
-
Prevent wasted ad spends and failed campaigns: Unchecked errors in your ads damage your brand and repel customers, all at the cost of hundreds, even thousands of dollars from your marketing budget.
-
Boost engagement: 71% of clients reported a jump in inquiries or online engagement in 2022 after we fixed errors and enhanced web content.
-
Retain customers: Website writing with mistakes turns away potential customers at an 85% higher rate than error-free writing, per Website Planet.
-
Take back your valuable time and peace of mind knowing your business writing is in the hands of a professional editor.

Proofreading
Proofreading is the final check before your writing is complete. You run a small business and know that mistakes on your website, in marketing materials and professional correspondence can be costly. You're excited to find a new job and don't want typos or misspellings on your cover letters and resumes. You need a proofreader.
The proofreader is responsible for cleaning up errors in:
-
Spelling
-
Punctuation
-
Grammar and usage
-
Basic formatting
-
Basic style or consistency
Copy Editing
Copy editing is a more in-depth review and is done before the work is prepared for publication. If you write for a website or blog and want to bolster your portfolio with published writing samples, you need a copy editor. If you're a freelance writer or self-published author, the technical perspective of a copy editor will enhance your work.
The copy editor is responsible for:
-
Ensuring copy follows particular style guidelines
-
Revisions for flow, structure and consistency
-
Fact checking
-
Proper tense, voice and word choice
-
Following grammatical rules
-
Initial proofreading
