Is something vital missing from your written work?

 

Do you have nonfiction writing that must be polished?

 

I offer a cost-effective editing service to independent authors, students, businesses, & publishers.

 

I will convert your written piece into a work of art.

 

Please read on to discover how I can be of service to you.

I will make these corrections to your document:

  • spelling & grammar
  • word repetition
  • incorrect word use
  • structural revisions to bolster logical flow
  • consistent formatting of headings, fonts, indentations, spacing, margins
  • enhancement of overall appearance

What I Fix

I will refashion the following types of nonfiction content:

  • personal letters
  • blogs & web pages
  • resumés & cover letters
  • product descriptions
  • newsletters
  • advertisements
  • whitepapers
  • academic & journalistic articles
  • user manuals

The Process

First, I'll obtain a map of the territory. I'll speak with you to determine exactly what you'd like to say. We'll go over the purpose of your piece & its intended audience.

 

Then, I'll read your work entirely without making any changes. By thoroughly connecting with your content & learning your writing style, I will be able to precisely tailor the revision to your needs.

 

Once I have a vivid outline of the project, I'll go to work.

 

I'll correct errors in the realm of spelling, grammar, & punctuation, as well as word repetition & incorrect word use.

 

Structural revisions on the sentence level will be made to bolster clarity & smoothen logical flow.

 

Diluted phrases will be replaced with powerful ones, so your ideas will be energetically conveyed.

 

Furthermore, I'll cosmetically enhance your content by ensuring that it adheres to a consistent format, in regard to headings, fonts, indentations, spacing, & margins.

 

The finished product will be superb. It will be something people feel compelled to read.

 

Such extraordinary results are facilitated by a variety of techniques used during the transformative process. AI grammar tools figure only in the final stage.

How I Work

While I employ AI tools for grammar & spelling, I make the initial corrections, methodically, line by line. Your entire piece will be copyedited & proofread by me; only when those stages are finished will I resort to AI grammar tools.

 

I use Google Docs & OpenOffice Writer for revisions. Both of these applications can interact with a variety of formats. Hence, exchanges can occur using RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, GDOC, TXT, PDF, & HTML.

 

Besides corrections, I'll leave detailed comments in the document (where appropriate), so you can see why certain alterations were made. I will collaborate with you each step of the way to ensure that we are on track.

 

While some sentences may require a total overhaul, I will strike a balance between substantive editing & maintaining your voice.

 

Before we start, I will provide a sample edit of your document, at no cost to you.

My Story

In 2006, I started writing my first book. Around that time I discovered that I had a talent for scrupulous research, detecting patterns in vast amounts of data, & converting complex notions into simple ideas that anyone could grasp.

 

The scholarly books that I wrote were published through Lulu Press, Kindle Direct Publishing, Draft2Digital, & Google Books.

 

Over the course of about eighteen years I have also authored several hundred captivating articles. All of them were composed by me, not an AI chatbot.

 

I'm quite fond of the writing & editing process.

My Qualifications

English is my native language. I speak & write it exceptionally well.

 

I've been on Project Gutenberg's Distributed Proofreader team since March 2024. On GitHub I've helped software developers optimize their app descriptions. 

 

My books have magnificent ratings on Amazon; one is approaching five stars.

 

Click to Expand

The editing & proofreading courses that I've taken were taught by some of the most talented editors in the field.

 

I'm an enthusiastic reader who's scanned countless fiction & nonfiction books & articles.

 

I have an intuitive understanding of proper sentence structure.

 

Grammatical errors jump out at me.

 

Please see my LinkedIn profile below for work examples.

Payment

I charge per project so you will know exactly what the fee is before we start.

 

The price depends on the word count & degree of editing.

 

Half of the payment is due before I begin the project (after we form an agreement); the other half is paid when I complete it.

 

I accept cryptocurrency, Venmo, PayPal, ACH, & Stripe.

Next Step

Whether you are satisfied with the content you've created & just need minor improvements, want a second set of eyes to look things over, or need help with line editing & establishing your structure, I can surely give you a hand.

 

I endeavor to generate outstanding content that's customized to your specifications.

 

The task will only be considered finished when you are 100% satisfied.
