I am seasoned writing and editing professional with more than 10 years of experience. I offer all levels of editing, from basic proofreading to more complex developmental editing.
My driving principles are clarity, concision, and vibrancy, driving me to ask the following questions:
Clarity: Is your writing understandable? Does it make sense? Have we removed all ambiguities? Is this written in plain language?
Concision: How much fluff and filler can we cut? Can we turn that elongated prepositional phrase into an abbreviated adjective? Can we speed things up? How can we do more with fewer words?
Vibrancy: Is your writing interesting? Will the reader care about the subject matter? Are you using active voice? Do your verbs leap from the page? Are you providing detailed sensory descriptions — all the sights, sounds, smells, and textures — for your reader to experience?
