Expertise
From raw manuscript to clean, structured, ready-to-typeset content.
Overview
Editorial work is where a title is de-risked before it enters production. Our editors read for sense, structure, and consistency, catching the issues that become expensive to fix later, and hand over content that flows straight into typesetting without rework. We serve trade, educational, academic, and professional publishers across EN, NL, FR, and DE.

Copy editing is applied to the manuscript before layout: it corrects grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style, and may address structure. Proofreading is a final check of the formatted pages against the edited text, catching typesetting errors and anything missed in earlier passes.
A consistently structured manuscript means the typesetting or XML workflow can be automated or templated. Without it, typesetters apply structure manually, which introduces inconsistency and makes multi-format output in print, ePub3, and XML much harder to produce from a single source.
Yes, if the partner follows your house style guide, tracks all changes, and reports at each stage. Crius Group applies your style guide, returns tracked documents, and provides stage-by-stage sign-off, so you retain oversight without doing the work yourself.

We work with trade, educational, academic, and professional publishers. Our workflows are designed to handle both high-volume series and complex multi-author titles.
Our editorial process produces structured, consistently tagged content. This means there is no reformatting step before typesetting. The file flows directly into the composition workflow, saving time and reducing errors.
