Written communication as stimulating as black coffee
Sometimes, all your copy needs is a bit of spit and polish to make it shine. Put your best business foot forward and hire a professional proofreader and editor.
And it’s not just about the correct spelling and grammar; our proofreading and editing services can also improve a document’s flow and readability as well as check any facts.
Black Coffee Communication is comfortable following your in-house written style guide, and proficient in the Australian Government Style Guide.
Unsure about the difference between editing and proofreading?
Simply put, proofreading checks superficial stuff such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, consistency and typos. It’s the froth on the top of writing that is already pretty good. Editing, on the other hand, takes your instant coffee and turns it into a barista brew through proactively changing sentence structure and word usage, as well as getting rid of any jargon, passive voice and unnecessary weasel words. Editing helps your writing seem more natural and fluent, while proofreading ensures your copy is error-free and ready for publication.

Editing services
Black Coffee Communication’s editing services are aimed at improving the overall quality of your written material.
