WRITING : Tell your story with heart. You don’t ask a physicist to cut hair. You don’t get a hairdresser to write. Not everyone who does great work knows how to write about it. We tell the stories of you and your clients, with clarity and feeling, compassion and passion, care and flare. Our copy has appeared on winning narratives and presentations boards for architects, in leading newspapers and magazines, on brochures, books, the web, and in novels and biographies. We work for architects, fundraisers, financial groups, leading international and national newspapers and magazines, and private individuals. Many of our clients are the leaders in their field.
EDITING : Your story is your diamond. Editing is the key to writing. The editing process brings new facts to light and makes them shine. We edit structurally (big picture), and line by line (highly focused). Does the story stand up? Does it flow? Most of all, does it shine a brilliant and clear light on you and all that you have to give?
PROOFREADING : Don’t be caught with your parentheses down! We proofread to make sure that your text reads clearly, is precise, and to make sure it flows and is the intended tone. Don’t distract your potential clients with smelling errors or words being out. We know the difference between it’s and its, and we definitely (never definately) care! We double proofread everything.
HAPPY CLIENTS : Loving the work. Our clients feel confident with us helping them on significant projects.
“Thanks for your hard work on this project. I’m very pleased with its outcome and looking forward to delivering it on Tuesday. It has been a pleasure to work together on this project”

“Marian is always on time with the edits and proofs, even if I am working to a very tight deadline. Whether it’s a detailed report, an important letter or just a few paragraphs, I continue to turn to Marian for her expert advice.
Marian also gives me the attention to detail that I need, and that means I can sleep soundly at night (really!). I continue to use Marian’s services again and again for that very reason, and many, many more.”

If you would like to sleep soundly at night too, contented with your written content, contact us at info at thewritingbusiness.com

NAVIGATIONAL TIPS For Living In An Imperfect World (We’re all right as we are, if only we knew it!) by Charles Bentley PhD and Marian Edmunds (of The Writing Business) was published in 2012.
The book is a global positioning system for humans, showing you how to navigate your personal pathway through an imperfect world. Discover your authentic route through the landscape of your life and your ability to cope in these rapidly changing and uncertain times.
Let go of your personal fantasies of an unattainable future, stop looking back through the distorting lens of the past, and realise the strength and joy of living in the here and now.
With original drawings and cartoons by Roger Beale, this book provides a succinct and insightful guide to coping with the world as it is today.
Several book titles are in development by The Writing Business. We also work with authors on the development of their memoirs, nonfiction and fiction. Need help to plan your book?
