Editing Services
You want it to be perfect, and so do I! We also want it to be effective and guide your audience.
Having edited many types of documents and publications in various industries, I am well versed in the most widely used style guidelines, as well as others and company-specific hybrids. I offer the following levels of editing: developmental, substantive, copy, line, style and proofreading (more detail in the Editing section).
My sharply tuned editing eye can differentiate 10-point from 12-point font from across the room. Also, I teach college-level English composition & creative writing, so I can provide more than just a surface treatment of your work. As a writing coach, I can work with you on your craft, or just make it pretty.
