As an editor and proofreader, I give you the benefit of a fresh
pair of eyes. Together we can strengthen your presentation to say more clearly what you want
to say for your particular audience. I can show you how to translate
speech that is spoken into text that will be read. You have the
expert knowledge and I never change your message. I make
suggestions and you decide what changes you want made.
I will also polish your presentation in terms of spelling,
grammar, correct use of tricky words like affect and
effect or your and you're, and the
formatting and printout of the document. When
your writing is clear to me as a new reader, it will be more
understandable to your future readers, too.
You concentrate on the ideas; I handle the details!
- APA style: grammar, spelling, punctuation
- careful attention to your University guidelines
- voice, person, tone, diction, syntax
- critique for flow and consistency
- collaborative final review before submission
- insert requested changes by professor or publisher
- reference list
- bibliography, if needed
- paper printout, CD, or e-mail attachment in RTF
A recent graduate wrote to me: "Anne, I got the 'official' word today that my doctorate is complete. Thanks so much for all your help. I would still be struggling if I had not found you to help me. Feel free to use my name, but only if you correct my typos! If potential customers would like a direct reference, you can refer them to me. Rhonda" We did all of the dissertation by e-mail!

It is important that you look carefully at the pages on this site. There is information about costs and how you can reduce your costs. Notice your responsibilities along the way so that the result will be a document you can be proud of and will accomplish your goal.
Like many people, after looking at all this you may have more questions. Do not hesitate to contact me for questions about your particular manuscript. There is no charge for this first (up to 15 minutes) informational call. Then, if you are interested, you can send me 10 pages of your document (usually first 10 pages of the literature review) for a free half hour sample of copy editing, and a free 15 minute phone discussion after you review it. Then we can both decide whether we can work together. DO NOT send a sample until we talk. I will tell you how to send your sample document.
