EVERYONE'S AN EDITOR

But only some of us are
professionals. Visit the

Canada (EAC) website for

editing and Patti Ryan's
profile.
WE WRITE
The best writing immediately engages your intended audience and keeps them
turning the pages. We know how to do that, and we've done it in:

  • Speeches
  • News releases
  • Reports
  • Fundraising materials
  • Website content
  • Fact sheets
  • Case studies
  • Success stories
  • Profiles of people and organizations
  • Magazine articles
  • Brochures
  • Op/ed pieces
  • Marketing materials
  • Other strategic communications products

WE EDIT
A good editor needs to possess two distinct abilities: an accountant's eye for
detail and consistency, and a writer's flair for the way words work and flow
together. We apply both of these talents to every editing project, and edit only as
much as you ask us to. Not sure? We're happy to explain the differences between
the types of editing we offer:

  • proofreading
  • copy editing
  • stylistic
  • structural
  • substantive editing
  • rewriting

WE MANAGE
Have you ever taken on a home renovation and resented having to be your own
general contractor? We can do more than write. We can handle your entire
communications project, overseeing translation, editing and graphic design as well.
