Personal and Business Copy editing and Proofreading

Are you an executive or business owner who knows the importance of making a good first impression on prospective customers? You know you cannot afford to have grammar and spelling errors in your written materials and/or your Web site. You also need your communications to read smoothly and express your message clearly and accurately.

I am able to work with you on all your written materials. I offer copy editing, proofreading, writing, and text consultation. For Web sites I also offer navigation suggestions and testing.

Perhaps you are an individual writing for your own satisfaction or recording memoirs for your family. Maybe you are a son or daughter wanting to tape your parents' memories, but don't want to type and proof them. You may have discovered an insight or understanding that has been so helpful you want to share it with others. Or maybe there is a poem or short story waiting to come alive in your words! Whatever you want to write, I am available to help you polish it for the needs of your chosen audience.

As an editor, proofreader, and Web site tester, I give you the benefit of someone reading your work for the first time. You have been over it many times, and so you know what it says. Someone seeing it for the first time will notice what you do not. I can show you how to say more clearly what you want to say. You know and can tell me what you want to say. It does take effort to transform spoken language into words on a page that you hope others will read. You are the author/poet/artist and I never change your message. I make suggestions and you decide what changes you want. Sometimes, my suggestions might spark a new perspective for you. You always have the final say. When I, as a new reader, am clear with the message you intend it will be easier to connect with your future readers.

Together we can strengthen and polish your business plans, newsletters, correspondence, reports, books, professional and business articles, term papers, brochures, query and cover letters, periodicals, and online articles and newsletters. 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. If you need or want it, I can provide the project on disk.

This Web site was originally designed for graduate students who needed an editor. Many of the pages are targeted to them. But the basics remain the same. Be sure to take a look at the other pages. They should answer some of your questions.

Good editing takes time. Please don't wait until the last minute and then want a miracle. I am fresh out!
