What I Edit
I edit websites, flyers and other marketing materials, articles, social media posts, academic work (if permitted by the educational institution), and long form manuscripts.
Who I Work With
I am happy to work with nonprofit organizations, small businesses, associations, students, new authors, and others who need some support in ensuring that their content is clear, concise, and effective.
Light Copyedit
Light copyediting focuses on spelling, grammar, usage, and punctuation. A light copyedit also makes sure figures and tables are in numerical order and correctly referenced in the text. Unclear or inconsistent text may be queried but will not be changed.
I will provide generalized formatting recommendations (consistent fonts, headings, and paragraph styles) for all levels of editing based on any specifications that I am provided, but it is the responsibility of the client to ensure that all required publisher or organizational specifications are met in their final manuscript.
Add-Ons &
Custom Requests
Figures and other images will be checked for clarity and consistency and a list of suggested changes will be provided for an additional hourly fee.
This service may be added to medium and heavy copy editing projects for an additional fee (dependent upon word count). It includes checking facts to the extent possible depending on the accessibility of publications and resources mentioned in the document or information available through public tools.
I help organizations and individuals to learn about the language, terminology, and formatting that matter most to them. I create a guide that can be distributed to internal and external stakeholders to help everyone to communicate in a consistent manner about the products and services offered. The style guide may also be scaled to the size of the project.
If you understand what you want to say but just aren't quite sure how to say it, I can help! My expertise is in creating marketing content for websites, social media, and other platforms. Writing projects include client consultations and one round of revisions.
With nearly 15 years of marketing expertise working with small businesses and nonprofit organizations, I have a strong understanding of what it takes to make an impact with limited resources. I can help to design a marketing plan to help your business grow.
Beta Reading
I’ll review your manuscript before it is published or finalized, and provide feedback from a reader’s perspective. This service focuses on the overall experience rather than on technical details like grammar or punctuation, and should be done independently of any editing. My personal preference is to have separate individuals perform the beta reading and editing in order to minimize the potential for biased feedback.
