It takes a special kind of person to find joy in correcting grammar errors. Fortunately, a lifelong fascination with language arts combined with an innate eye for detail and a perfectionist streak has made me exactly that kind of special.
For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a freelance editor and copywriter for clients ranging from fiction writers to academic researchers to lifestyle bloggers to game designers. I’ve even written my own material. I get weirdly deep satisfaction from taking a rough manuscript, tidying and polishing it, and returning it to its creator in its best possible form.
WHAT TO EXPECT
BEFORE: Once you fill out the form below, I’ll send you a few questions via email to get the important details, and you’ll send your project file(s) for me to review.
DURING: If we’re compatible, we’ll solidify terms via written agreement with digital signatures and I’ll get to work. I’ll use Track Changes and comments in Microsoft Word to make it easy to follow what I’ve done, send you updates if it’s a long project, and possibly touch base with you via email if something needs clarification or explanation.
AFTER: When the project is finished, you’ll get the document(s) sent to you in Word and PDF format. I’ll send your final invoice, you’ll confirm you’re happy with the work, then we’ll settle up and go our separate ways.
IMPORTANT: You own and retain the rights to your project, including anything I’ve added/written as part of it, unless otherwise laid out in the terms of our agreement. This is your baby.
