If you want to connect sentences clearly, use a conjunction: ‘I’m not going for a walk because it’s tipping it down.'

If you want to imply a connection, you can use a semicolon: ‘The chicken is a bit dry; can you pass the gravy?’ #PrepressTip (2/2)

We all commit the occasional comma splice (joining two complete sentences with a comma, e.g. ‘Thanks for the cake, it’s delicious.’), but it can help to keep the following in mind when it comes to copy-editing.(1/2)

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Worried about mixing up ‘practise’ and ‘practice’? Here’s our tip: they follow the same pattern as ‘advise’ and ‘advice’. The words with ‘-ise' endings are verbs, and the ones with ‘-ice’ endings are nouns. Time to practise putting our grammar tips into practice! #PrepressTips

We’re delighted to share that Prepress Projects has been awarded Best Employee-Owned Publishing Services Company and the Employee-Owned Business Excellence Award in the 2025 Scottish Enterprise Awards, presented by SME News. (1/3)

It's been a whirlwind couple weeks, but it's been a pleasure to return to my theatre-kid roots and put on a show (Christmas quiz) for our annual festive lunch. Thank you @prepressprojects.bsky.social for such a lovely day!

With a gloriously sunny end to week 2 of the autumn Step Count Challenge, our teams reached the halfway point and increased our total number of steps to 801,443. Well done, all!🍂☀️ @walkingscotland.bsky.social #StepCountChallenge

Some lovely photos from this week's walks!

I got to hit the trails with my colleagues this weekend! Feeling very lucky to have such great guides in both editing and exploring.

The @walkingscotland.bsky.social Step Count Challenge starts next week, and teams from Prepress Projects will be joining the fun. Tune in to keep an eye on our two step count challenge teams: The Running Footers 👣 and Count Step-u-la 🦇. #StepCountChallenge

Last week, Prepressers attended Publishing Scotland's summer drinks reception, bidding farewell to outgoing CEO Marion Sinclair and celebrating BookSource's 30th anniversary. It was lovely to hear about two very inspiring journeys while networking over cake.🎂 #PrepressOutings

We had some fun off the clock yesterday and explored the Tay! (It was warmer than it looks).

Yesterday some of our Prepressers took to the Tay for a kayaking tour of Perth!🛶

They paddled from Willowgate right into the city centre, enjoyed spectacular views of Moncreiffe Island and even had time for a dip in the water at sunset.🌇 #PrepressPeople #PrepressOutings

We've completed the @walkingscotland.bsky.social spring Step Count Challenge! Congratulations to our winning team, Hot Off the Prepress, who took 2,204,296 steps. Bipedal to the Metal were hot on their heels, with 2,154,130 steps. Here are some photos our challengers took on their wanders.🌲🐑

We've been swapping iambic feet for Imperial feet and upping the mileage here at Prepress!

The business of being paid: invoicing without apology The ability to talk about money is a curious thing. Some people feel uncomfortable discussing financial matters – whether it’s others knowing how much you're paid or, in the case of business, asking d...

Let’s talk about invoicing. When done properly, it’s nothing to apologise for!

Cash flow and financial stability are key to a thriving business, but good invoicing practice can also help foster professional relationships.
