Professional services available to you from FINETEXT
FINETEXT is a consultancy that is flexible, reliable and approachable.
Abstracting
Abstracting means to summarize a text to make it more accessable to the reader. Large reports or even just detailed copy often require a precis to guide the reader through the main points of the text as clearly and quickly as possible. It entails the following:
Editing English as a foreign language
Each project is very specific according to its needs: any or all of the elements detailed here might be required. The result is text that reads professionally in English, whether informally (e.g. a website) or in a more formal context (such as a brochure). Whatever might be needed, FINETEXT can help.
"Language is the source of misunderstandings."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you are from outside the UK, have you considered outsourcing your proofreading and editing to a UK freelance? GBP sterling continues to be weak against the euro and US dollar: I can offer the same high-quality work but at even better value to you.
Fact-checking
Copy-editing generally covers the elimination of errors of fact, as far as the brief allows, but more specialized copy and information-heavy text may require a more detailed check.

It would be wonderful to be a master of all trades, but I only promise what I can deliver, and if your needs are deemed to be outside my professional scope, I would happy to point you in another direction.
