Eliminate embarrassing errors!

Misprints in the press can be highly amusing; whether it's a slip
of the keyboard or a badly structured sentence which conveys
an alternative yet infinitely more entertaining meaning, it can be hard not to smile.

“AUTO REPAIR SERVICE. Free pick up and delivery. Try us once and you’ll never go anywhere again.”

But it's no laughing matter when these blunders occur in your own business communications. Suddenly it's not comical: it's unprofessional. Gaffes in your printed material create a poor impression and damage a hard-earned reputation; they may be expensive to rectify and could even result in lost business.

A document strewn with errors smacks of incompetence.


At a time when all businesses are striving for the competitive edge, and first impressions count, impeccable copy
is imperative!

Many people know what they want to say but have trouble expressing the written word in a coherent, concise and logical manner.

Long-winded copy can confuse rather than enlighten the reader.

CheckMates will give your writing an overall polish to improve the tone and clarity of your words.

We don't rewrite your copy; however, we can do the following:

  • Review, edit, perfect montagerefine text to ensure clear, compact sentences and the correct usage of words
  • ensure the copy is communicating precisely what you want to say, with no confusion or ambiguity
  • check for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors
  • maintain a consistent tone and style throughout
  • improve logic and flow of ideas
