Details regarding Wordsmith services and rates are as follows:

What I apply my services to:

1. As regards printed work: I edit doctoral and masters theses for university       students, and have also worked in an ad hoc capacity for a publisher that published magazines and books for the building trade.

I've also done a few booklets and pamphlets for two charity organisations, and some commercial work, e.g. a small piece for a new shopping centre, plus book reviews and book editing.

2. As regards virtual environments, I have an understanding of the publishing industry in general and am happy with the process; I also have an understanding of the web environment, and in work previously done for a large corporation (on one of their web portals) I would check links, logic, navigation, etc, not just content on the "active content area".

This therefore could be applied to:

• Web Sites
• Web Portals
• Digital Communication such as electronic marketing brochures
• Book reviews

What I am offering:

• Professional online Quality Assurance Management.
  Specifics include:
• Proof-reading text
• Professional writing consultancy (grammar, spelling, general quality of writing)
• Image checking
• Navigational logic quality assurance
• Coherence of design templates throughout (I report in on where things appear weird or different)
• Broken Links Check (I report in, not fix them)
• Separate from this, I am a published author so could also offer original writing if that is required, over and above editing, linking themes, ensuring work is readable, etc.

Methodology:

1. Printed media - I generally prefer to work on hard copy for editing.

2. Virtual environment

• I operate online 
• I submit a detailed matrix highlighting the results of my quality assurance work
• I undertake the process in stages so that changes can be done in parallel, which helps companies with their production schedule
• Book review in PDF format or Word document
