Improve/rewrite articles for business magazines

Project Description: We are currently looking for a NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER who can improve our articles. Charlton Media Group publishes 3 bimonthly magazines - Singapore Business Review (SBR), Hong Kong Business (HKB), and Asian Power (AP); and 1 quarterly magazine - Asian Banking & Finance (ABF). All articles across all magazines are written by writers with different styles and what they need is a common voice and livening up. The articles need more than just copy editing and proofreading, they need to be improved, while maintaining the same word count range. Projects come on a regular basis, given that we regularly publish the magazines. Here are some samples of how we want our articles to be "improved": 1. Original Story: The implementation of Singapore’s Do Not Call (DNC) Registry started a tapered business environment for industries banking on telemarketing for more patrons and higher revenues. The DNC Registry is in line with the first phase of implementation of Singapore Personal Data Protection Act of 2012 which comprises rules governing the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data. The move is in response to the growing concern on the easier access to personal data made possible by an increasingly sophisticated technology. Improved version: We've all had an annoying call from a telemarketer that happens to have our mobile phone number and calls us at 10PM at dinner. That was supposed to change with the implementation of the Do Not Call registry which took effect from this year but already there are signs that implementation is difficult and enforcement, patchy. 2. Original Story: Singapore office rents could see as much as double-digit percentage increases this year. Office rent prices will be supported by the improved outlook for global and local economies that are encouraging firms to take up more space, as well as the limited supply in the next couple of years, according to analysts. Improved version: If you were hoping for a reduction on that office rent renewal you may be in for some sticker shock with prices set to soar over the next 3 years. Office rent prices will be supported by the improved outlook for global and local economies that are encouraging firms to take up more space, as well as the limited supply in the next couple of years, according to analysts. *Send your bids if you are adept at this type of editing.
