Editing

Everyone needs an editor, a neutral party who assesses words in ways the writer can’t, either because they’re too precious or because they’re just sick of looking at them.

Editing occurs on many levels, from basic proofreading for grammar and typos to wholesale reorganization and rewriting. It can involve tightening and ensuring consistency throughout a document. It can mean locating the essential among a big, rough pile of information.

Editing can occur with all kinds of information: Newsletters. Annual reports. Novels. Cookbooks. Memoirs and other works of nonfiction. Print advertisements. Requests for proposals. Brochures. Posters. White papers. Web ads. I’ve edited all of those and more over the years.

Contact me if you have writing – long or short – that needs a grammar check, polishing, tightening, fact-checking or reorganization.

I’ll master the details, so you don’t have to.
