Error-Free Documents

May 7, 2010

You’ve misspelled a client’s name in your newest project proposal. The presentation you spent hours perfecting still contains multiple typos your brain skipped over. Your website is full of outdated or incorrect information.

Anyone who has been in business for a while knows even the smallest errors can be extremely costly. I’m always surprised, then, how many companies take a laid-back approach to ensuring the quality of their online content and business documents. They publish material that no one but the author checks, or rely on colleagues who may understand the subject matter but lack the skills to effectively proofread the writing.

Why you should use a professional proofreader

Misspellings, factual errors, and poorly constructed writing erode customer confidence in your organization’s ability to get things right. Your customers become nervous about the quality of your work and the competition is just waiting to profit from your mistakes.

This is why we’ve made professional proofreading easy and affordable. For just a few dollars per page (contact us for more pricing details), you can have online content and business documents that are error-free, strengthening your company’s reputation for quality and building confidence in your brand.

Here are four reasons to start using The Scribe Source for your proofreading needs:

1. The spell-checker on your word processing program will not catch all of your mistakes. It won’t catch misused words, factual errors, or a poorly constructed paragraph that obscures your message. Our professional proofreaders and writing experts will.

2. The more familiar a person is with what a piece of writing is supposed to say, the less likely they are to catch what it does say. Distance from the project can help someone notice errors, which is why an outside proofreader can catch what you or others in your office might miss.

3. The brain tends to automatically correct what it reads, so employing effective proofreading techniques is important for catching all of a document’s errors. Our associates know how to make sure that every headline, paragraph, table, and caption is error-free.

4. Four eyes are better than two. No document leaves our office until at least two associates have checked it, even if it is only a page long. This is a promise you’re not likely to get from other editing companies.

Quick-turnaround proofreading — Easy and affordable

We make it easy to add professional proofreading to your organization’s process for publishing and distributing online and printed materials. E-mail us your work in the morning, and you’ll have it back by afternoon. Send it to us before you leave the office, and it will be waiting in your inbox when you return the next day.  [Note: Document length may affect turnaround time].

We also offer high-volume discounts for companies looking to run all of their documents through a professional proofreading service. Call us to find out more: (888) 816-7852.
