As an editor and proofreader for over sixteen years, I have worked with many types of documents. These items include business and sales, medical and technical, and creative writing.
What I do:
While I do a lot of website and business editing, I also work with manuscripts, both fiction and nonfiction. In addition to these are manuals, guides, and magazines; reports and articles; email campaigns, and other various items.
How I do it:
First, I will take a look at the text to get a general idea of the project. I will ask you for any concerns or directions that you may have and other pertinent info.
It is important to leave the authentic voice of the writer intact, so no worries about massive changes. I promise you that I am easy to work with, and will consider anything out of the norm if it is essential to your style.
And more ...
Besides editing and proofreading, I am called on to do writing to improve the text when needed. So, if you find yourself at a loss for words, I can help with that!
In addition to working, I am continually honing my skills. Studying is a constant, as there is no end to what you can learn in this ever-changing field. My goal is always to be a valuable and versatile asset to my clients as their go-to editor.
