Editing and Proofreading (Scientific + General)

Grammar mistakes and convoluted sentences kill your readers’ attention. Formatting inconsistencies are also eye-sores that grind on your readers’ patience. Many people even believe that poorly-written documents are simply not very professional. What all this means is that you need to care about your stakeholders! They’re your readers after all!

Audiences also tend to enjoy a piece of writing when every sentence makes sense and sends clear messages. Clear messages mean clear results and greater reach among your audiences.
