Editorial intelligence
Everyone and their AI is a writer these days. That’s not a bad thing, it’s simply that skilled human oversight is a good thing.
Expert EDITING & content creation Services
The magic touch of a skilled writer makes the difference between good words and great words. The attention of an experienced editor transforms AI-generated copy into fact-checked, error-free content that shines with authenticity.
“Editorial Intelligence” is a collective editors and writers who bring expertise and heart from the worlds of publishing (traditional, online, self-publishing), national & local government communications, tech start-up, wellbeing & self-help, journalism, academia, advertising, technical writing, e-learning and instructional design.
Our services begin with proofreading and extend to style, structure, voice and tone. We’ll work with you to build a plan for your written content, based on the format or platform. We write, or “conjure” your content using our wit, wisdom and any of the multitude of AI tools that suit your project. More than that, our real-world experience helps support your project through to completion.
AI tools have immense potential for written content. However, great results require providing clear context, precise structural rules, and careful iterative prompting. Without those skills, it is easy to get stuck in a sludge of generic drafts. Our editors & writers understand the rules and structure of great writing. We speak the language of AI, drawing out its best work. Combining smart prompt engineering with human craftsmanship, we deliver authentic copy that hits the mark and is polished by a professional human hand.
A good editor is like a good friend – with you through thick and thin – offering good advice when asked or working as a patient partner to help your words resonate with your intended audience.
If you’re crafting a pitch, press release, a website, social media, business plan, thesis, novel, or something else altogether, one of our excellent editors can apply their EI (editorial intelligence) to elevate your work.
