Discript uses an editorial eye for setting type …

... we combine editorial and design skills to achieve optimum results ...

We charge separately for editing and proofreading, so unless you specify that you want us to, we don’t read every word of your document.

However, we throw in a high level of education and broad general knowledge. We take an interest in most things, including your text. We will draw to your attention anything that looks odd to us:

• Inaccuracies, either typographical or contextual, which may be errors
• Inconsistencies (such as between chapter titles and their listing in a table of contents)
• Omissions (such as figures or tables referred to in the text)

For examples of the three items above click here.

Extensive experience in the publishing industry means we build in nice touches, such as are shown below:

• Running heads automatically extracted from the text of the chapter [example 1: click here]
• ‘(continued)’ automatically at the tops of index columns [example 2: click here]
• long footnotes automatically placed [example 3: click here]
• bad word breaks avoided at the end of a paragraph or page [example 4: click here]

This is how we combine editorial and design skills to achieve optimum results:
