EDITING SERVICES

It is invariably true that effective writing is key; it is also true that presentation is vital. A great message can only be brought to its full potential when vetted through the entire editorial process. Pathway Writings‘ expert editing services will enhance the clarity and impact of your writing, helping you communicate your story and ideas effectively and with the greatest impact.

We work on a wide range of various documents, such as essays, reports, white papers, articles, speeches, newsletters, website content, blog posts, and social media captions.

We work with CMOS, APA/MLA, and AP style guides, Webster's New World College Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, and in Google Docs, MS Word, and PDF formats.

While there are many stages in the editorial process, Pathway Writings focuses on two crucial stages of review: copyediting and proofreading. Check the descriptions below if you’re unsure what type of editing services you need.
