We began in 1996 as Editorial Services Online, one of the Web's first businesses, and incorporated in 2003 as Wordfirm Inc. Wordfirm offers editorial services as Managed Editing.

Dale Adams founded the company and serves as project manager. He has worked in publishing for over 30 years, with significant experience in writing, editing, graphic design, and publication production. Before starting the business, he worked for 10 years managing publications for nonprofit associations in the Washington, D.C., area.

Our clients appreciate working directly with a knowledgeable project manager, who logs in jobs, assigns work to editors, deals with any problems, reviews completed editing, and returns jobs to the client on time. The project manager works to make sure our clients' needs are met, including turning editing jobs around quickly.

All work is billed by the hour, in quarter-hour increments, with a half-hour minimum per job. One of the project manager's critical tasks is ensuring that jobs are handled efficiently, minimizing time and cost. We invoice all clients, typically with terms of 30 days.

"When I send a document to Wordfirm for proofreading, I never actually expect them to find errors. But every time the Wordfirm team makes a major catch (sometimes several) that I am thrilled to see! I also very much appreciate that in addition to the standard grammatical and spelling changes, they also make suggestions for rephrasing or rearranging a sentence or paragraph to help it read better. They really go above and beyond."
