Every year, millions of dollars are available for worthy organizations, whether from government funding sources or private investors.

Web Page Editing
Did you know that businesses with poor grammar and spelling mistakes in their posts and on their websites lose almost double the number of potential customers than those with typo-free sites? In fact, according to some studies, the ‘bounce rate’ (or percentage of visitors who quickly leave a website) when landing on pages with sloppy spelling and grammar is 85% more than those without mistakes. This costs your business web traffic and affects Google metrics, signaling that the site is untrustworthy and lowering your business’ position in search engine results pages. All of this can be damaging to a company’s brand and credibility. The bottom line is that this affects your bottom line; poor grammar and spelling mistakes are costing you money!

“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. Great work ethics and excellent quality of work. Would love to work with her again in the future.”
“Amanda was great to work with. Very clear and concise in her work and proved quite diligent in a quick turn around. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an astute writer and editor.”
Book Editing
Writing a book is hard; it takes a huge amount of time and effort to write all those words and bring your ideas to life on the page. It frequently takes six months to a year to produce a draft, and often much longer! Depending on the type of writing, you might need to do copious amounts of research or collaborate with other authors. When you’re labouring over your writing and juggling all of your responsibilities, it can be difficult to put enough energy into editing what you’ve created. Even if you do have the time and determination, getting someone else who edits for a living to look over what you’ve completed is a great way to make sure your book is exactly the way you want it to be!

iPlume is proud to edit books, ensuring that when your work is published, your readers can experience your best writing on every page. Our founder, Amanda Rogers, knows how much this matters to you; she’s an author too! Our company takes our many years of editing experience and gives you the best service possible, so when you’ve already put all your blood, sweat, and tears into your writing, you can feel comfortable knowing that everything you’ve done is in good hands during the final steps to the finish line.

Business Writing
Businesses rely on effective communication to share their products, services, and ideas. Whether you are putting together service agreements, drawing up contracts for your partners, or creating an executive summary for a report, you need your business documents to be free from errors and as clear as possible. Research indicates that mistakes in writing can leave a bad impression, making you seem unprofessional. Confusing words or sentences can also make instructions unclear, causing disagreements or leading to wasted time. If you want only the best for your company, your business documents must be held to the highest standards, just like you are. Learn more about iPlume’s writing services: info@iplumewriting.com

Academic Writing
Maybe you’re an expert in your field (or maybe you’re still on your way there) but like anyone, sometimes your writing has mistakes. Your ideas are brilliant, but you might need an extra boost when it comes to finding those comma splices and typos, or making your words sound as good on paper as they do in your head. Research has shown that we’re all being judged by our grammar, regardless of how much knowledge we actually have or how many degrees we hang on our walls. Whether you’re a seasoned academic or a student still climbing that scholarly ladder, poor spelling and grammar is often seen as signalling flaws in competence or character, even affecting people’s perception of your personality.

According to research, 55.3% of Americans prefer using email at work. Yet errors in emails can impact the perceived professionalism of the person sending the message. 93% of people acknowledge that they make mistakes in their emails, and 50% report experiencing misunderstandings due to email. One study suggests that email takes up 23% of the average employee’s workday, leading to over 108 billion emails per day!
