LSA GLOBAL
Professional Editing & Proofing Services

Make every sentence work
Proofreading and consistency
Check spelling, punctuation, grammar and presentation against the agreed style. Provide a style guide or preferred terminology when consistency across documents matters.
Academic writing
Discuss language review for reports, articles and other written work. Clarify any institutional rules; language editing does not replace the author’s responsibility for the content.
A clear review process
Choose how changes should be shown and which file format you will use. Agree the scope of revision, the review stage and any follow-up changes before work starts.
Choose the right level of review
- Editable manuscript and word count
- Required level of editing
- Style guide and delivery format
From manuscript to a clear final text
- Choose the review: Identify whether the text needs structural editing or a final proofread.
- Refine the text: Review clarity, grammar and consistency at the agreed level.
- Resolve changes: Agree tracked changes or a clean file and review any author queries.
Your questions, answered
What should I send for a quotation?
Describe the service, source and target languages, audience, volume and deadline. Include the files or a representative sample and any formatting, certification or technical requirements. A clear brief allows the team to confirm scope, availability and pricing.
How are price and turnaround confirmed?
The quotation depends on the actual material and requirements. Language pair, complexity, volume, quality of supplied files and timing can affect the work. Agree the deliverables, payment terms and delivery date before the assignment starts.
How will revisions be shown?
Agree whether changes should be tracked, annotated or delivered as a clean file. The brief should identify the level of editing and any style guide. The author retains responsibility for the facts and original content.
What happens if the brief changes?
Contact the team when the source, timing or requested deliverables change. Additional work and revisions are reviewed against the original scope. The agreed quotation and applicable company terms determine the next step.
