DEL Editorial Services 

Insightful Instructional/Developmental Editing
Manage the editorial development of each project and its components from initiation to delivery. Edit according to CMS, AMA, MLA, or client’s preferred style and ensure that materials meet client standards of organization, clarity, and consistency. Training materials (eg, textbooks, workshop materials, online courses) are further evaluated for effective application of adult learning principles. Style sheets are created and maintained for each project to ensure consistency among multiple drafts/components. Edits are made on hard copy or electronically in Word.

Consistent and Thorough Copy Editing
Correct spelling, grammar, usage, and punctuation. Edit according to CMS, AMA, MLA,
or client’s preferred style and make sure the manuscript is clean and consistent. Style articles for submission to medical and scientific journals and manuscripts for submission to publishers. Style sheets are created and maintained for each project to ensure consistency among multiple drafts/components. Edits are made on hard copy or electronically via Word or Adobe Acrobat.

Smart Writing/Revising
Write and/or compile material for, edit, and manage production of newsletters. Write Web copy, articles, press materials, and other promotional items. Write assessments and workshops based on existing training materials. Modify content crossing media platforms
(eg, from textbook to Web course). Copy delivered in Word.

Meticulous Fact Checking/Organized Reference Binder Preparation
Confirm that all content is appropriately referenced. Verify that all referenced text corresponds to the cited source material and is appropriately annotated to client specifications (from simple brackets to detailed underlining and number/letter coding). Complete any missing reference material (requested from client or purchased at additional cost), where possible. Organize and compile complete reference binder, in either electronic or print form, for medical/legal/regulatory review. Larger printing/copying tasks, binders/other materials, and shipping are additional costs.
