I love reading and I cherish your individual voice. That’s what makes reading fun! I will respect and preserve your unique voice and style. When I love something, I’ll tell you! If I think you could make changes that will make it better, I’ll tell you that, too. I communicate honestly and professionally, and will always defer to your final choice. I’m on your team. I will collaborate with you to make your work the best it can be, but you will always have the final decision on whether to incorporate my edits or suggestions. I will read your book just as your eventual reader will, but my focus will be on ensuring they have a smooth reading journey, free of potholes (spelling and punctuation errors), misdirection (inconsistencies in internal logic), and speed bumps (anything that pulls the reader up short and takes their mind off the story). My focus will be your focus : giving your reader an engrossing, immersive, un-put-down-able reading experience. One that will make them come back for more. Helping your book fly fast and far.

Eagle-eyed proofreader. Persuasive writer. Friendly editor.My passion is helping your written content stand out from the crowd. Whether it is a website, blog post, product description, political essay or thesis, social media post, my proofreader's eagle eye will eliminate errors while my editing chops will refine your message until it is crystal-clear, and compel them to Buy Now, Sign Up, Download Your E-book or Click Here for More Information.If you think of your content as road leading your reader where you want them to go, my editing will remove the roadblocks and potholes represented by errors and unclear writing, and point them where you want them to go. But wonky formatting, layout inconsistencies, citations, graphics and captions also receive my meticulous scrutiny.NeverNotProofreading (and Copyediting) Truly. It used to bug the heck out of me—constantly noticing misplaced apostrophes, turning away from the TV in bars so I didn't have to agonize over captioning riddled with errors—until I realized it was actually an advantage. Under the umbrella of "attention to detail", I took over the "final edit" of newsletters, appeal letters, grant proposals and reports, new web content, executive correspondence, board minutes, you name it, for the nonprofits where I worked. I have an incredibly keen eye for the usual proofreading culprits: spelling, grammar and punctuation. True story: I actually enjoy it! I love proofreading and copyediting, refining your message until it is crystal-clear and compelling.
