The inspiration behind Pellucid Editorial is the need of content creators to communicate clearly and thus make meaning transparent; especially when communicating in a language other than that of the creator, meaning and clarity can be easily lost or obscured as a result of translation.
I provide copyediting and proofreading services for just about any written word material, including material originally created in a non-English language.
A copyeditor can include within scope anything from grammar, punctuation and spelling to stylistic and even structural changes. Generally speaking however, the copyeditor should steer clear of stylistic and structural changes unless the client or author has expressly included that in the brief.
Depending on the nature of the brief and the length or complexity of the text, Pellucid always aims to deliver within the client's deadline.
Contact us using the buttons on this site or emailing adrian@pellucid-editorial.com. We communicate with you to determine the brief, the rate or fee, and the delivery date or stages.
Pellucid is prepared to work with all publishers, authors, organisations, institutions and individuals who need professional copyediting and proofreading services no matter their industry, unless there is some legal reason preventing us.
