Hiring a professional editor to comb through the content of your site, documents, book, etc. means you cut down on the amount of mistakes in your work. Grammar errors reduce the credibility of your writing. They have the power to detract from your message.
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been reading through a document and even a professionally published book and found glaring a faux pas. It can be anything from a misspelling to a lack of proper punctuation. Mistakes happen, more than publishers would like to admit.
Today, with the immediate access to internet and a move to self-publishing, there are not measures in place to edit documents before publication. It is best to have more than one set of eyes on important documents. Writers, myself included, can easily miss their own errors when self-editing. We tend to read the words we want to write, even when it says something different.
Hiring me as a copy editor, you will have a finished product that will be thoroughly edited. I enjoy the work and will take the time I need to complete each project with excellence.
I offer three types of editing: proofreading, line editing, and developmental editing. Each level of editing costs a different amount, because each one takes a different set of skills.
