Let me take care of your draft documents and turn them into persuasive content.

Your work can be word-smithed or corrected; fine tuning it for impact and results.

Need an editor or a proofreader?

The whole editing process can have many steps. My service covers two of the key steps:

  1. Copy editing – on screen marked up or tracked changes
  2. Proofreading – on screen proofread corrections

Each focuses on a different stage of the editing process. They look at different parts of the writing process and use different techniques.

Copy editing  improves the formatting, style, and accuracy of text. It might not involve changing the substance of the text. It’s done before both designing and proofreading, the latter of which is the last step in the editorial cycle. Copy editing should make it say what it means, and mean what it says – clear, correct, concise, complete, and consistent.

Proofreading is the final stage. It’s the reading of a gallery proof or on screen to find and correct production errors – they may be either text or art/design. It focuses on surface errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. Proofreading should be done after all the other stages of writing and editing are complete..

Always try to keep the editing and proofreading processes separate.

I offer an online service that can proofread documents in 48 hours turnaround.*
