Merging and Editing
We have extensive experience editing documents in a broad range of subjects with highly varying degrees of complexity. Our forte is indepth editing—substantive and developmental editing. We can merge the work of several authors and edit or rewrite as necessary to ensure complete, cohesive documents. Our document included Ph.D.-level work contributed by several engineering staff members. The staff member who wrote up the work had been hired for excellent technical expertise, not writing skills. The draft of the report was poorly organized and confusing. In addition, it had major inconsistencies that were an almost inevitable outcome of different people writing small sections in haphazard styles. On top of that, we were in the unenviable position of having an extremely tight deadline. Judi was able to detect the inconsistencies in technical content and ask the questions needed to eliminate them. She edited and rewrote the report so that it was quite clear, accurate, and readable, and she finished it within the required timeframe. Thanks to her stellar writing and editing skills, the report passed the review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I had to write an article of critical importance, and time was short. I gave Judi a disorganized compilation of material in a professionally embarrassing condition. She reorganized and rewrote the text, and she beat the deadline. She did a beautiful job of making each point clear to the audience. I feel almost guilty receiving the accolades that followed publication. This work was important to my group, and I’m thankful Judi worked the necessary magic. This is not the first time Judi has brought clarity and organization to an important document. I commend her work. |
