editorial services for professionals
You are educated, experienced, and great at what you do. But let’s be honest, the paperwork sucks. So does all the marketing needed to keep your business afloat. Your time could be better spent.
Editors and writers are masters of words, detail, and organization. We work with you, but can also work 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 websites, government assessments to best-selling books. We make your message clear and save you time and money.
I am a professional editor and writer. I make you look good.
what needs editing?
Any report or document you write. Marketing used to promote you or your office, firm, or agency. Your website. Aunt Bertha’s eulogy.

No problem. I’ll create one for you, written from scratch.
what kind of editing
do you need?
As a professional, you have unique specialties, even within your field. Your writing and editing needs are just as diverse. One document might need a complete overhaul; another might be (almost) ready to print. Another might be an idea in your head, not yet on paper.
The key is knowing what needs to be done. I take a look at your project and help you understand what editorial steps will make it sing.
This is where I shine . . .
proofreading
Your last set of eyes when you’ve done a great job writing your stuff, 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 with superpower focus. 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 make an impression. Don’t mess it up.
total rewrite
Let’s face it, writing is not your thing. You are good at what you do, and you are not a writer or editor.
If you have something written but know it’s a red-hot mess needing resuscitation, a total rewrite is what the doc scrawled on that prescription. A total rewrite takes an existing piece of work, makes a diagnosis, deconstructs, rebuilds, refines, and releases using your existing words.
Let’s get it done.
written from scratch
Stay focused on your profession, where your passion lies.
A writer creates brands that intrigue an audience. A writer finds unique angles to craft meaningful content that speaks your language while translating for laypeople. A writer understands your strengths and weaknesses, your target market, and gives you a voice.
I will make sense of your meaning.
