Editing

 

What is an editor … and why every writer needs one:

After you have done all the hard work of putting your thoughts into written words, an editor is a professional who polishes your work to perfection, A thoughtfully-edited project will add credibility and impact to your publication, while eliminating confusion, grammatical errors and glaring goofs.

 

 

 

Let me be your proofreader …
No matter how intelligent you are or how well you write, a proofreader can make you look smarter and, at the very least, save you from embarrassment. Before you submit your project for publication or public dispersal, send me your file and let me proofread your job, no matter what size it is. It’s an affordable service that could save you costly errors. Besides that, it’s fast, friendly and guaranteed to make you look as brilliant as you are.

Always have

someone proofread your
writing to see if you
anything out. (sic)

Glaring goofs
are everywhere

Here’s a big billboard with a simple four-word message. One of those four words is spelled incorrectly. It’s (meaning “it is”) always a good idea to hire a proofreader!

Bet the city planners didn’t plan on creating a new word when they made this sign pointing to their historic “distric”!

Did someone change the name of Yellowstone National Park when no one was looking?

Goof-free is

better than Goofy!
