Wordy Professional Editing Gets Wordier: Multiple File Uploads And New pricing
Publishing content online might be considered to be the easiest job for many but for those who mean serious business, pushing content online is a matter of great importance. Many bloggers out there would readily agree to this when they switch from writing for their personal blog to someone else’s. You have to adopt to a certain standard, the perfect writing style and tone of voice, just to name a few. We reviewed Wordy, a startup that takes up the responsibility of all your editorial nightmares by providing you a quick, standardized and cost effective solutions. Write, submit, pay and publish with confidence. Quite simple. Recently, they announced new pricing and features to their service.
Another Word On Wordy
A year ago we wrote about a new copy-editing start-up from Denmark - Wordy. Since then Wordy released its product from beta, won Seedcamp this autumn and moved to UK. I talked with Anders Schepelern, founder and CEO, who shared insights from his entrepreneurial journey.
Let us remind you that Wordy offers human copy-editing of any English document at a small price and high speed. They claim to be able to process any text of 400 words in 15-20 min at any time of the day. The service was launched as a commercial product from day one: editing 400 words costs 7-8€. All revenue is split 80/20 between editors and Wordy, which means that an average editor gets an hourly wage of around 23€. Since Wordy's competitive advantage is high-quality human edge to editing (40% of the editors have a Master's degree or higher), offering a decent pay is the key to hiring and retaining the workforce. It seems to be paying off too: customer satisfaction of the service is in the top ten percentiles at the moment.
Wordy Is Your Copy Editor Market Place (Video)
Guilty as charged. We sometimes need a helping hand from a copy editor here and there, because we are not native English speakers, but want to write in English just because its the global lingua franca. Now there's Wordy, a Danish startup, to help out. We saw Wordy already present in Copenhagen back in June at the ArcticEvening event we held there. Back then they were still in closed beta and only now have opened up.
Here's a presentation (video below; start at 00:23:20) from Wordy, when they were at LeWeb last week.
