NOTE FROM THE EDITOR — Personal Observations from 10+ years of Business Document Editing
At PaperBlazer, we specialize in editing a wide range of documents for companies worldwide. From manuals to bylaws — even memoirs of business owners — we’ve helped businesses refine their content.
One of the most critical types of documents we edit is RFP responses—documents that have secured billion-dollar contracts for some of the largest companies and venues in North America.
Over the years, I’ve made several key observations while editing these high-stakes documents, but these principles apply to all kinds of business documents:
1. You can never have too much editing. Even after billion-dollar companies draft their proposals, we still find areas for improvement. If you’re pursuing major contracts, invest generously in editing. Even if you have an in-house team, outside feedback is invaluable.
2. Fresh eyes catch what in-house teams miss. We’ve identified countless errors that went unnoticed within internal review processes. External editors bring a fresh perspective, preventing repeated mistakes.
3. Speed matters. RFP deadlines are tight, and waiting weeks for editing isn’t an option. That’s why we offer same-day turnaround, helping companies maintain efficiency and meet deadlines.
4. Cross-department communication can be a challenge. When multiple teams contribute to a document, inconsistencies can arise. We ensure clarity, coherence, and consistency across all sections.
5. Even billion-dollar companies benefit from expert editing. Our rhetorical expertise enhances clarity and persuasiveness, preventing costly errors and ensuring effective communication—changes that can be worth billions.
At PaperBlazer, we don’t just edit—we refine, enhance, and help companies secure the results they need.
