I know how much heart writers put into their work. I also understand the importance of having that effort respected and that voice protected. That’s why I approach every project with care. Whether it’s a blog post or a manuscript, I can help make sure your writing says exactly what you want it to—because when small mistakes sneak in, they can distract from the story you’ve worked so hard to tell.
Don’t Let Errors Get in the Way of Telling Your Story
We all have a story to tell. It may be a blog post, a novel, or a cover letter to a prospective employer. It‘s not easy to get your story onto a blank piece of paper (or a blank screen). When you do, you should absolutely feel proud and celebrate—but then get a second pair of eyes to help you edit it before you hit publish or send.
Why? When it is your own writing, it’s difficult to see errors or even missing chunks of information. As the writer, you’re likely too close to the work to give it a proper edit. Editors and proofreaders are unbiased parties who can help you identify missing information and catch common errors.
True, some errors can have happy endings. Take, for example, the name Google. Larry Page asked a fellow college student to register the domain name for the search engine they were creating. Instead of typing “googol,” Page’s friend accidentally typed “google.” Luckily, Page ended up liking it. The rest is proverbial history. Other errors may have disastrous ramifications—a missing hyphen caused NASA’s mission control to abort the launch of the Mariner 1 probe mere minutes after liftoff.
Sometimes, your words need a little extra help before the final stage of proofreading. That’s where copyediting and line editing come in. Here is where you and I can work together to polish your words, allowing them to reach your audience.
