Copyediting and proofreading services for businesses from 33 South Textworks, based in Helensburgh, Scotland.
Everyone makes mistakes. All it takes is a few words that can be misread horribly, amusingly, or horribly amusingly, and you’ll get spread all over social media (and not for the reason you want) – or all over the floor of a courtroom (with a legal decision against you).
Your documents ARE you when you’re not in the room. They are important to your reputation – proving your professionalism, building client trust, and affirming you know what you’re talking about.
Your documents are the lasting impression your clients have of you and your business.
Don’t let them contain typos, bad grammar, incongruities, ambiguity, or anything that will damage your professional credibility.
First, check out my Editorial Services and see what I can provide for you.
I’ve spent much of my working life on business documentation, and in the past I’ve worked on documents for the following industries:
I can edit your newsletters, social media posts, website pages, client documents, training materials, mailshots – anything that has text. Obviously, you know your business better than I, so this is editing only – you write a draft, I’ll finalise it.
I will make your documentation readable and clear for your intended audience – whether they have background industry knowledge or be a complete novice to your offering.
Best of all, my editing services for business are multi-industry – I don’t need to know your business to edit your documentation. In fact, it’s actually better if I don’t! Viewing your text with completely new eyes is a benefit – I’ll be a customer who needs your services but has no detailed knowledge.
I can also build your business a Style Sheet, to be used for ALL your text. It will bring consistency to everything your company puts out there, whether it be white paper, article, sales docs, training docs, or even social media posts.

As most business documents are usually already to a fairly good standard, I will only need to see a small sample of text before providing a quote.
Business documents are charged at an hourly rate, depending on the amount of work involved. Or, you can book me on retainer, so many hours per week for a fixed rate per week.
I can also help to produce your marketing copy, blog posts, White Papers, or web pages.
Text will follow your chosen Style and format. SEO keywords can be added if required.
