What It Is:

A content edit is a mix of writing and editorial services to actually create your content alongside you, the subject matter expert (SME). This is not for small, one-off projects such as a few press releases or a whitepaper; a content edit is best for your toughest projects.

During a content edit, we partner with you to help you translate your source content (often the knowledge inside your own head) into engaging, effective materials.
​
Why is this important? SMEs are experts in their subject matter, but not necessarily expert writers or editors. This disconnect can easily confuse and frustrate your audience until they stop listening.

Why is the price variable? Depending on the project requirements (including type of materials and deadlines) and the amount of SME involvement, a content edit may require extensive copywriting or technical writing and multiple rounds of review to get it right. 

Best For:

  • Large or long-term projects and campaigns
  • Any type of material (e-learning, books, marketing communications, videos, websites, etc.)
  • Projects with multiple contributors and experts
  • An audience you're not used to writing for
  • Inexperienced writers or people who dislike editing
  • Subject matter experts with little time on their hands but big to-do lists
