Proofreading and Editing – What It Means It's a phenomenon known to all producers of text that, no matter how often one checks a text, the first person to look at it is sure to find the mistake one has overlooked a hundred times. In proofreading, I check your English or German text for mistakes in spelling, grammar and punctuation. Printed works or correspondence – be sure you approach business partners and the public with formally flawless texts. In addition to the aforementioned points, editing also encompasses improving the text in terms of expression, style and comprehensibility and ensuring consistency in writing and terminology. Owing to my comprehensive intercultural training, I am aware of the specific characteristics of German and English text types and can match your texts with the requirements of the target culture. Making sure that your correspondence and printed works are formally correct is one thing – easy-to-read and comprehensible texts, however, win over clients and business partners in their own way.
