A separate service

Edited for you.

Fair Copy Edit puts the method in your hands. If you would rather not hold it at all, we’ll do the whole job: you send the recording, and we send back the finished video, any Shorts that genuinely stand on their own, and our working.

Not the same as buying the editor

Two ways to a fair copy, bought separately.

This is a separate, boutique service, arranged directly with us. Buying Fair Copy Edit gives you the software to do the editing yourself. A commission buys our time, our judgement and our copy of the system, and you never need to install anything.

How a commission works

  1. A conversation

    Your channel, your audience, what you want people to understand, and anything that must never be cut.

  2. Your house style

    Every publisher keeps a house style: the rules its editors follow. We write one for your channel, covering what matters, what’s off-limits and how it should look and sound, and you correct it until it’s right.

  3. One real recording

    You send it. We read it, mark it up and cut it under your house style.

  4. The video, and our working

    You get the finished video, any Shorts that genuinely stand on their own, and the edit notes: what stayed, what went, and why.

  5. Your notes

    Tell us what’s wrong. What you approve goes into your house style, so the next video starts further ahead.

  6. Then, if it’s working, the next one

    Further videos are commissioned one at a time or as a regular arrangement.

What you keep and what we carry

You keep

  • Your recordings
  • Your voice and your opinions
  • The final say on everything published
  • The finished files, to publish wherever you like

We carry

  • The editing, the checking and the rechecking
  • Every version, in case you change your mind
  • Remembering what you told us last time

Who it’s for

People with something worth saying and no wish to become video editors: teachers and preachers, podcasters and interviewers, consultants, commentators, and anyone whose recordings carry an argument that has to survive the edit.

Good to know first

Separate house styles for each client are still being built, and the method hasn’t yet been proven far outside our own subject area. A first recording is how we both find out, before you commit to anything more.

By enquiry only

Edited for you is deliberately small. There are no public prices, no packages and no online checkout. Tell us about your recordings, and if it looks like a good fit and we have room, we’ll talk through how it would work and what it would cost.

Express your interest

Tell us what you record, how often, and where it’s published. We read every message and reply by email. Sending this doesn’t book anything or commit you to anything.

Please don’t send footage through this form. If we go ahead, we’ll arrange a way to send your recording.

The contact form is temporarily closed.

We’re finishing setting up email for Fair Copy Edit. The form will reopen here shortly; nothing can be sent from this page until then.
