Two levels of service

Choose the level of editing you need.

Not every document needs the same level of attention. I’ll review your goals and the document itself, then confirm the scope and price before work begins.

  • Proofreading: spelling, grammar, punctuation, typos, and basic consistency checks.
  • Copyediting: proofreading plus improvements to clarity, consistency, sentence flow, and readability.
  • Microsoft Word Track Changes so you can review proposed edits.
  • Questions flagged when a wording or meaning decision needs your input.
  • Human-led editing: no AI tools used to perform the editing work.
  • Technical accuracy, process redesign, extensive rewriting, and document layout are quoted separately when needed.

Industry-aware editing

Editing with operations experience.

Open Book Editorial serves businesses that depend on clear instructions and professional communication. My background in warehouse operations and manufacturing helps me recognize the practical context behind many business documents and the importance of consistent terminology.

My role is to improve the writing—not to certify technical or regulatory accuracy. I’ll flag unclear wording and questions for your team to confirm.

Let’s discuss your document
