Success
It’s always nice to hear from my clients, but it’s even nicer when they’re thanking me for my assistance! Recently, two manuscripts that I have edited have reached the next level.
Firstly, a lovely client named Ciye Cho has published his wonderful book: Shiewo: A Fantasy Flight to Adventure and he has even made a soundtrack to go with the book! That’s what I call innovative.
Secondly, a novel by Miss Teagan Chilcott has won her the chance to be mentored and to publish her book, as yet untitled. I’m really pleased that I could help her with her manuscript, and I can’t wait to see her published!
Let’s keep the success-role coming!

Here’s an example of a recent publication, which is a collaboration between Smart Skills and Sally Barrett: Editing & Writing Service.
The World Needs Editors
For Crikey’s take on why you might need my services, read this post on why the world needs editors (even if it thinks it doesn’t need books anymore): Article
Corporate Communication
View your company in the eyes of your customers. If a potential client navigates to your website and they see a professional, intuitive and well-organised site, this will most likely be their lasting impression of your business. If they see a badly organised and clunky site, you’re not off to a good start.
At Sally Barrett: Editing & Writing Service, we have recently been approached by a number of large corporate clients with a need to ‘revamp’ their communications templates. Tender documents, website copy, guidelines, manuals and newsletters; all of them outdated and some of them littered with grammatical and spelling errors. How does this happen?
Sometimes it’s easy to miss what another person will see on first glance. That’s what editors are here for: when we look at a document, with fresh eyes, we can assess its effectiveness far better than somebody who has seen the document hundreds of times over.
Accurate, professional and up-to-date corporate communications documents are becoming more and more crucial. A simple spelling error in a tender document could be the difference between winning the bid, and not. In this competitive landscape, your business cannot afford to lose.
Sally Barrett: Editing & Writing Service can assess your corporate communication processes and documents, free of charge. We will let you know what needs changing, or what needs to be improved. We will then work with you to ensure that your business is viewed as professional, detailed and well-organised.

Rainforest Rescue Partnership
I know what you’re thinking; why does an Editing and Writing business have a partnership with an environmental charity? My response: we should ALL be doing it.
Here at Sally Barrett: Editing & Writing Service, we care deeply about our effect on the environment. Extending from how much power we use, how many pieces of paper we go through each day, to whether our business cards are printed on recycled paper. Businesses in 2011 need to have more awareness of their footprint on the environment.
Rainforest Rescue is a not-for-profit organisation that has been protecting and restoring rainforests in Australia, and internationally, since 1998. Their projects re-establish rainforests through planting, maintenance and restoration programs, as well as purchasing and protecting high-conservation-value rainforest and preserving its biodiversity.
I have been a supporter of Rainforest Rescue for many years, and now my business is as well. I will be donating part of ALL fees charged for editing and writing services to Rainforest Rescue, in order to help protect this beautiful world that we live in and offset the footprint that we, as a business, inevitably leave behind.
When you decide to use Sally Barrett: Editing & Writing Service, you will also be ‘giving back’ to the planet that supports us all.
While you’re here…
Hello! If you’re visiting my site, thank you for stopping by. While I usually reserve my posts for things of an editorial nature, in this instance I have decided to promote Earth Hour 2011.
I frequently write for Peppermint magazine, whose founder, Kelley Sheenan, is nominated for the WWF’s Earth Hour Lifetime Achievement Award. At Peppermint, we care deeply about the environment, and here at Sally Barrett: Editing & Writing Service, we do too.
I will be going beyond the hour for Earth Hour, by purchasing power saving adaptors for all of our office equipment. I will also continue to have a paperless office, and print all business stationery on 100% recycled paper.
How will you go beyond the hour?
