A lot of my clients think they’ve got editorial peer review covered.

But there’s a lot more to it than simply having someone read through your response and check for spelling errors. And a proposal that hasn’t been through a thorough peer review lacks the professionalism you need to win business with RFPs.

So, what does an in-depth editorial peer review look like?

Jana L. Burge is Founder and President of JLB Consulting, a firm that supports businesses through editorial peer review.

Jana has 37 years’ experience in copy editing and proofreading, demonstrating an expertise in identifying errors and inconsistencies in RFP responses. She is also a master in improving the flow and readability of written work without altering the author’s overall tone.

On this episode of the RFP Success Show, Jana joins me to discuss the editorial mistakes proposal writers make most, challenging us to be succinct and embrace simplicity in our responses.

Jana explains why she addresses formatting errors first in the EPR process and offers advice on how to suggest changes without bruising the writer’s ego.
