editors4you.com: Editing services with the personal touch
At editors4you.com, our business is small and our service is personal. We like this. What does it mean to you?
- We tailor our service to you as an individual
- We’re not a ‘one size fits all’ enterprise
- We do tailored quotations, not widget or automated pricing
- We know it can be intimidating to ask for a quote, so we make it easy for you and offer a no-obligation quotation
- We offer a sample edit on up to 2,000 words of your writing for a small fee. If you then commission us to do your edit, we will deduct the sample edit fee from your invoice. Sometimes we do the sample edit for free!
While our business is small, our experience and areas of expertise are wide-ranging. This means we are able to offer services similar to those offered by ‘conglomerate’ editing companies – but with the personal touch.
