Congratulations, you’ve finished your book! But you’re not really done until you’ve had a professional editor go through it with a fine-tooth comb. There might be a misplaced comma, a word that shouldn’t be capitalized, a missing hyphen, or maybe a verb that doesn’t agree with its subject. All those tiny, little grammatical issues can end up devaluing your work. And after all your hard work, that’s the last thing you want!
It’s often challenging for writers to spot their errors. That’s why it’s so beneficial to have another set of objective eyes like mine carefully read every sentence and word. Errors just stick out to me like neon signs!
My goal is to meticulously proofread and precisely edit your work so that it’s clear, concise, consistent, and error-free, all while retaining your unique voice and tone.
What are some of the things I can edit for you?
Please consider me for all of your editing and proofing needs. Anything you send out to the general public that has your name on it should be flawless because it’s a reflection of you. This could include your press release, bio, email content that promotes your book or business, etc. I want to help you present a cohesive message and an impeccable image.
What will I do for you?
I work in Track Changes, provide a style sheet upon completion, and have The Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition next to me at all times. I will treat your work like it’s my own!
I will enhance your work by addressing:
- grammatical errors
- capitalization
- punctuation
- spelling errors and typos
- verb tense agreement
- syntax
- consistency
- flow
- word choice
- wordiness
- continuity issues
- fact-checking
- citations
- overall cohesiveness
What level of editing do you need?
I offer several different levels of proofreading and editing. You may need proofreading, copyediting, line editing, or something more substantive. I’ll be happy to take a look at your manuscript and assess it to see which level of service you need. I make that determination on a case-by-case basis. Just send me a few pages and I will do a free sample edit. Contact me and let’s get your book one step closer to earning a place on people’s bookshelves.
Why trust me?
Because I’ve been writing and editing for decades. My college degree is in mass communications. It’s just what I do!
