EDITING

You like to write, but you need a polish. Your ideas are flowing, but you’re not quite sure if your participles are properly placed (or what the heck a participle is in the first place). Or you may have already put some words to paper, but you’re not sure if it tells your story the way you want it to.

You need a set of eyes on your work. We all do. A good edit of your work means the difference between a mediocre message and an impactful engagement.

My editing process depends on your writing. You may only need a copy edit. That’s how I make sure your grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, syntax, style, consistency, and endless details you wouldn’t think of are spot on.

Or you may need a substantive edit. That’s when I dig in. I may rearrange or rewrite sentences or paragraphs to improve flow and reduce repetition or awkward wording. I may create new headlines. I’ll even fact check, if needed. It’s an all-in process that transforms your writing from meh to marvelous. Or from pretty good to pretty grand.
Editing is my most called upon super power.
