Copy-editing is the initial stage of correcting your work. Your words will be made clear, correct and consistent in style. To improve your work, text can be reorganised to ensure your argument or message comes across succinctly.
Proofreading
This process involves reading and correcting your final proof. Typographical errors, grammar, spelling and punctuation will be addressed.

- Advertisements

Structural editing
This type of editing involves correcting structural defects. This means removing obscure, incoherent, misleading or ambiguous sentences, unsupported references, repetition, factual errors and irrational arguments. It also means identifying omissions in the text and suggesting where further research is needed.
Writing
The particular styles of writing New Leaf specialises in include advertising copy, text for the web and electronic newsletters.
Initially send in a brief outlining the parameters of your project, the concept and your target audience and we can go from there.
Production and printing advice
There are many production costs you must consider when publishing in print or online. These costs relate to the project’s materials, format and design approach. If you are up against a deadline and need to know if it is humanly possible to produce what you want on time and to budget, New Leaf will provide sound advice on schedules and estimates.
