Proofreading and Editing

Web Editing:

This specialised type of editing requires the ability to say a lot in few words. Below is a “before and after” example of a web page edit. For this project the client overemphasised his financial competitive advantage rather than what he actually does, so the editing process included further questioning of the client to elicit the relevant information:


Before Editing

James McGill*

Taxation Agent

I do annual accounts and tax returns (including GST returns) for small businesses and rental property owners (< $100,000 revenue per annum). I also do tax returns for salary/wage earners. I also give advice to the above. I do all this for a cheap flat rate per annum.

I charge a cheap flat rate per annum so that customers know exactly how much they will have to pay, unlike most accountants & tax agents who charge by the hour so the customers only find out how much they will have to pay when their accounts have been finished. My accounts are easy to understand – they don’t have pages and pages of notes unlike the accounts that most accountants prepare. I go out of my way to keep in touch with my clients, unlike a lot of internet-based tax agents, e.g. I rang them to find out how they fared in the earthquake and gave them some information about tax matters relating to the earthquake.
