Content Writing

Plum Editorial provides quality content writing for a variety of clients in a variety of ways. Whether creating text for a website, newsletter,  a university, custom publication or blog, we work with you to ensure the project is on time and on message. It can be difficult to translate what you are trying to say into words. We understand that … and are skilled at communicating key points while telling stories. We always deliver strong results to help achieve your company’s goals.

Project Editing

Taking a publication from beginning to end involves a lot of oversight. There are a lot of details to track, deadlines-within-deadlines and logistics to handle. Plum Editorial has a strong history of managing and collaborating with other writers, photographers and graphic artists to ensure all goes smoothly. We copy edit material, improve what needs fixing and put all the finishing touches in place so your publication is both powerful and professional.

“We are a business publication that uses Plum Editorial to edit issues that would otherwise hamper our in-house resources.”
Mark S. Murphy | Providence Business News | Providence, RI

Social Media

Even if you were willing and able to maintain your company’s blog, Facebook page and Twitter feed, who has the time? And keeping posts relevant, informative and valuable is another skill set altogether. SEO considerations also need to come into play. What is important is that social media efforts are consistent and continuous. We handle clients’ email newsletters and social media needs while they are busy running their companies.

“My company is growing. So having Plum Editorial providing social media posts — at a time where I need this online presence but don’t have time to do it — has been valuable.”
Jason Kadlac | NativeScapes | Lake Mary, Fla. 

Copy Editing

With a base of strong newspaper copy editing experience, we polish, refine and clarify your copy until it is a shiny gem on a page. We can edit or rework your paragraphs to tell the story in a smoother, more streamlined way; reorganize paragraphs; ensure usage, grammar and punctuation are correct; and adjust the length of your piece if needed. Changing passive voice to active voice breathes new life into tired copy. Cutting what doesn’t fit keeps the reader on track and engaged. We can also completely rewrite an article from existing text so it’s like new again. Let us know what you are trying to accomplish; we will make improvements to make your copy sing.

Journalism

Writers with strong journalism backgrounds ensure publication clients well-written, comprehensive stories and articles. The honed skills needed to deliver such items — often with extensive research and interview work — support all the work we do, whether it be social media, copy editing or content writing. Good journalism practices are at the base of all we do; the creativity just blossoms from there.

Press Releases

A strong background in news journalism means we’re accustomed to dishing out the who, what, when, where and why with clarity and style. Companies count on us to write and edit press releases that announce launches of new products; strategic partnerships; service expansions; new hires and more. When it comes to getting your news noticed, eye-catching headlines and efficient use of quotes is just the beginning.

“Whether it’s a technology story, a newsletter piece … or a business byline, [Susan] delivers really solid copy, has great attention to detail and is a trusted writing resource.”
