editorial services for businesses
You put a lot into your business. But let’s be honest, the paperwork is a headache. So is all the marketing needed to keep your business afloat. Writing, then scanning fifty times to catch inconsistencies and errors . . . your time could be better spent. Is your message even clear? Nothing is more important than your image and customer perception. Your message should represent you and your company well. Does it?
Editors and writers are masters of words, detail, and organization. We work with you, but also with your graphic designer, ad agency, printer, photographer, marketing team, translator, and other editors, completing your project on time and on budget. We edit and write almost anything, from resumes to corporate reports, neighbourhood newsletters to award-winning websites. We make your message clear and save you time and money.
I am a professional editor. I make you look good.
what needs editing?
Any report or document you write. Marketing used to promote you or your office, store, or company. Your website or social media posts. Aunt Edna’s eulogy.

Haven’t got a finished project? Not even sure where to start?
No problem, I’ll create one for you, written from scratch.
what kind of editing
do you need?
Like buying a new pair of shoes, there are several options in your size, and all will fit differently. One project might need a complete overhaul. Another could be (almost) ready to print. Another might be an idea in your head, not on paper.
The key is knowing what kind of editorial assistance you require. I will take a look at your project and help you understand what editorial steps will make it shine.
These are my superpowers
proofreading
Your last set of eyes when you’ve done a great job writing, an editor has waved her magic, and you still need to catch prior-to-send spelling errors, punctuation mishaps, and grammar faux pas. I’ll zap your typos before you spend a fortune on printing and publishing.
You need a proofreader to save time and money. I’m your gal.
copy editing
This in-depth, line-by-line edit will not only cover spelling, punctuation, and grammar, it will target clunky words, fix tense issues, correct sentence structure, fine-tune phrasing, flow, and tone, and ensure format consistency. A copy edit is, in fact, what most projects need.
You only get one shot to catch your audience. Don’t mess it up.
total rewrite
Okay, so writing is not your thing. You have other talents. If you have something written but know it’s a red-hot mess needing resuscitation, a total rewrite is what you need. A total rewrite takes a piece of work, makes a diagnosis, deconstructs, rebuilds, refines, and releases using your existing words.
Let’s make it happen.
written from scratch
Stay focused on your business, your customers, and your livelihood.
A writer creates brands and intrigues an audience. A writer finds unique angles, crafting meaningful work that speaks your language while translating for laypeople. A writer understands your strengths and weaknesses, your target market, and gives you a voice.
I speak for you with mutant lungs.
