Let us manage your communications project so that you’re free to focus on other things. We’ll meet with you and your team to discuss your needs, scope your project, and develop a publication strategy, budget, and schedule. Workhorse can look after every stage of the process: editing, layout, proofreading, indexing, and preparing files for publication. Together, we’ll ensure your project stays on track and meets professional editorial and design standards.

Give us your draft document and we’ll help you improve its structure and clarity and ensure all the grammar, punctuation, and spelling is correct. Workhorse can edit your document according to the conventions of styles like MLA, APA, or Chicago—or to your organization’s house style and/or branding guidelines.

Once your document is laid out, have it reviewed by an experienced proofreader before you make it public. Workhouse founder Beate Schwirtlich has thousands of hours of proofreading under her belt, and grammar and typography are both areas of expertise.

Take advantage of our background in fine art and photography. Workhorse can source the perfect images for your project and secure the permissions you need to reproduce them. We can assist with image research, create a plan for visuals to complement your text, or even have original illustrations and art created for you.

Old digital files? We can convert legacy documents from Quark 3, 4, 5, and 6 to QuarkXPress 10 or InDesign, or we can convert QuarkXPress, InDesign, or CorelDraw files to PDFs. We can also retrieve your text from any Quark, InDesign, CorelDraw, or PDF file and provide you with an editable Word/text file.

Old physical files? We can scan your printed book or document, using optical character recognition to create an accurate, editable Word document or text file from that hard copy
