Services

My editing services range from final-stage proofreading to heavy copyediting. My pace will vary based on the level of editing needed and the size and scope of the project. 

 Proofreading 

Professional proofreading eliminates embarrassing mistakes that discredit your message and confuse your readers. It is appropriate for previously copyedited, formatted work that needs a final error check prior to publication or distribution. Proofreading corrects basic errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization and formatting.

Copyediting 

Good writing becomes great writing with the help of proper copyediting. Even the best writers overlook problems that a skilled editor would catch. The level of copyediting that a document needs can vary from light to heavy. Copyediting corrects errors in word usage, syntax, flow and clarity while maintaining the original structure, meaning and voice. I’m an AP Style specialist and can ensure adherence to company style guidelines.

My impact-driven communications service is a way for my clients to draw on my years as a communications leader with organizations like Starbucks — while still focusing on the craft-driven wordsmithing that’s the hallmark of what I do. 

This level of service includes rewriting, incorporating content from multiple sources into a cohesive final product, and reshaping existing content through a communications lens to achieve your business goals. 

If your content needs a fresh start, I can help reinvent it. By analyzing its core elements, I can suggest changes to content, organization and style to help give your words new life. I can also adjust the voice and tone to more closely match your company's style, personality or brand identity.
