Technical Editing

Fireweed offers professional technical editing services to get your deliverables right.

Technical editing has been a mainstay of our business from the start. Whether you’re running a small ecological consulting business from your garage or a regional civil engineering firm, the documents you create for your clients are the product you produce. Naturally, the quality of that product is a reflection of your brand. Rogue apostrophes, incomplete sentences, and slapdash formatting don’t make a good look for your company.

The obvious solution is to hire a professional editor, but keeping an editor on staff can get expensive, especially if you don’t have a steady stream of documents to keep them busy. And having your technical staff do the editing never works as well as managers think it will. Geologists, chemists, and biologists know a lot about their particular subject matter, but editing is a separate trade with a skill set they probably don’t have.

Because Fireweed is an independent contractor, you only pay for us when you need us. We integrate with your team to refine your documents and get them right. With seven years of experience editing for environmental and engineering companies combined with 12 years working as technical staff in the business, we know what regulators and clients expect to see.
