Words that work as hard as you do

Spelling mistakes (we're only human, after all) in your copy may seem like harmless slip-ups, but they can be bad for business when potential customers start questioning your credibility or professionalism. That's where I come in.

Whenever anyone asks what I do, I tell them: I make your writing shine.

Despite all its contradictions and grammar rules, a love of the English language has underpinned my entire career.

Copyediting, in particular, allows me to immerse myself in the intricacies of the language—refining sentences, enhancing clarity, checking facts, and ensuring every word serves a purpose. As someone who finds satisfaction in bringing structure to the chaos of rough drafts, spotting inconsistencies others might miss, and ensuring every detail is polished to perfection, I get a kick out of doing what I do, and this enthusiasm shows in my work.

Whether you're launching a new project, refining your brand voice, or simply needing an eagle eye, I bring years of expertise to every [active] sentence and Oxford comma.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, quality copy is priceless

Copyediting

I'll look at the mechanics of your copy and refine it for consistency, accuracy, flow, and style.

Proofreading

Every detail matters. I'll meticulously review your content to ensure it's error-free, formatted, and ready for publication.

You know your business inside out, and when you're face-to-face with your customers, I bet you can wax lyrical about your services. But does that same enthusiasm and interest translate well onscreen (or in print)?

Bill Gates' essay, Content is King, has turned into an overused mantra, but it does speak the truth.

Good content (or copy) can only take you so far; quality content speaks to authority, credibility, word-of-mouth, web traffic, social shares, and more. All of these factors increase your visibility and boost your bottom line.

If the value of a picture can be measured in how much it says, can you afford not to have me edit and proofread your copy?
