TRACKED CHANGES

Fig. 01 — Every revision arrives as tracked changes, with queries rather than silent rewrites

Editorial work

Most documents fail
by accumulation.

Rarely because of one glaring error. Usually because of an accumulation of small ones — an inconsistent term, a reference that does not match the style guide, a sentence you have read forty times that no longer says what you meant. Each is minor. Together they make a reader stop trusting the document.

01

Queries, not silent rewrites

Where the intention of a sentence is unclear, it comes back as a question with a suggestion. Your voice is never quietly replaced with mine.

02

A style note with every job

Every decision about spelling, capitalisation and terminology is recorded, so the next person working on the text follows the same rules.

03

Two reads, not one

One pass for structure and argument, a second for language. Doing both at once is how errors survive into print.

Where writing is needed

Sometimes the text has
to be written, not fixed.

Most of the work here is editorial — taking something written and making it hold. But some documents do not exist yet, and some commercial copy needs rebuilding rather than correcting. Those services are on the list too, priced the same way as the rest.

01

The brief comes first

Before anything is written or rewritten, we agree what a reader should think, feel or do after reading it. Without that, the work is decoration.

02

Claims that hold

Where a document states a result or a benefit, it should be something you could stand behind if asked. Anything unsupportable comes back as a question, not as a silent edit.

03

Written, then checked

Anything written here goes through the same editorial pass as work sent in for review. Drafting and checking are two jobs, done in that order.

Services

Document services,
at a fixed price.

Most of what follows is editorial: checking, correcting, reviewing and preparing documents you already have. Writing services are included where you need something produced from scratch. Fixed scopes have fixed prices and can be ordered directly; work whose extent varies is quoted individually.

For businesses

How it runs

Four stages, in this order.

Whichever service you order, the sequence is the same. Nothing is invoiced beyond what was agreed at stage two.

Stage 01

Brief in

You order online or ask for a quote, then send the text and the context. The clock starts when the brief is complete.

Stage 02

Scope confirmed

Extent, revision rounds and delivery date confirmed in writing. If the text falls outside the scope, you hear before work starts.

Stage 03

The writing

Drafting or revision, depending on what you ordered. Anything ambiguous comes back as a query rather than a silent change.

Stage 04

Delivered

Final text by email in the agreed formats, with the style note, plus the revision rounds included in your order.

About

Attention to the things
you stopped seeing.

I'm Tomas Strigac. I check, correct and prepare documents for a living, from Paris — reports and proposals for companies, academic and personal work for individuals, and writing from scratch where a document does not exist yet.

Most of the work is unglamorous and matters a great deal. A report that reads as one voice rather than four. A thesis where the references finally match the style guide. A proposal where the argument survives being read quickly by someone who was not in the room. None of that is decoration — it is the difference between being believed and being skimmed.

So I ask a lot of questions at the start, and I would rather query a sentence than quietly replace it. What comes back is yours — in your voice, with a style note recording every decision I made along the way.

How this works

Three things fixed before you pay,
and fixed afterwards.

Each of these is written into the terms you accept when ordering, not just stated here.

Scope

Agreed in writing first

Every order is confirmed with its extent, revision rounds and delivery formats. If your text turns out longer than the service allows, you are told before work starts — never invoiced for it afterwards.

Voice

Queried, not overwritten

Where a sentence is ambiguous it comes back as a question with a suggestion. Nothing about how you sound is quietly replaced with how I would have written it.

Rights

Entirely yours

You keep every right in the finished text. Nothing you send is used as a sample, published as a case study or shown to anyone else without your written permission.

Contact

Tell me about the text.

Send the length, what it is for and when you need it. If a fixed-price service fits, I will say which one. If not, you will have a written quote within 2 business days.
