Everyone makes mistakes. We correct them. We correct literary, journalistic or nonfictional texts. Weather you entrust us with the revision of your manuscript, page proof or page break version: We provide scrupulously, consequently and consistently corrected texts.

Proofreading with four eyes. There are rules for everything. In order for them to be applied correctly, you have us. This we make sure by systematically correcting everything according to the four-eyes principle. And the result: flawless texts.


This is what we correct

Spelling. Duden or Wahrig, conservative or progressive, your house rules, publishing guidelines or press dictions: we correct your texts scrupulously and exactly according to your specifications and wishes.

Punctuation. Intuitive commas? Don’t exist for us. But a lot of obligatory or facultative ones. And we put them, where they belong. The latter ones to avoid misunderstandings and disruptions of the reading fluency. This implies: consistency and your personal rules have the priority.


Inconsistencies. The unification of personal names’ or geographic places’ spelling stands on top of our list. When it comes to »possible, but not mandatory« rules, we examine closely and make sure everything’s consistent.

Typography in detail. We pay attention to correct quotation marks, carets, apostrophes, diacritic signs as well as logic and consistent markings.

This is how we correct

Four-eyes corrections. Our principle: four eyes see more than two. Every text is proofread by a team of two. If you need us to correct larger amounts of text, several proofreading teams can work on one assignment.

Custom-made for you. Whether we do a first correction in the manuscript and the second one in a file after the page break is done or we’re supposed to compare several text versions; whether you need your corrections the classical way with pen on paper or in a Word, PDF, InCopy or XML file: we’re in.


With a focus on details. Ideally, we receive perfectly edited texts, both with regards to content and language. But ideal cases are rare. So we’ll also pay attention to contextual inaccuracies and plot mistakes.

Personally. Personal contact persons are especially important to us. For short-notice changes you can directly contact the proofreader in charge of your text.
