Business editing | Non-fiction copy-editing and proofreading


Helping your words to flow

Is your written material clear, easy to read and well suited to its audience? I can help you to make sure it is.
 
I’m Graham Hughes, and I run GH Editorial, an editing and proofreading service in Chester, UK. I work mainly with business clients and non-fiction publishers. ​I've worked with over 80 customers, helping them with more than 50 books, over a hundred business reports and much more. My main specialisms are technology and sport, but I can work with most subjects.
 
Depending on the type of material I'm working on and the service I'm providing, I can:
  • eliminate errors and inconsistencies in spelling, grammar and punctuation
  • enhance your use of language, to help you get your message across smoothly and clearly
  • edit your writing into plain English
  • advise on formatting, layout, structure and editorial style, so that your material will be suited to its purpose and your target readers.

I take a reader-first approach to editing: my first priority is to make the reading experience easy, smooth and quick, keeping ‘bumps in the road’ (distractions, confusion and so on) to a minimum. This also helps you, by getting your message across clearly and efficiently, and making a good impression on the reader.

So, if this sounds useful, please get in touch and we can discuss what you need.
