Copy Editing

Copy editing is the filter through which good writing becomes great writing.  Run-on sentences, poor punctuation, misused words, repetition, and other errors all serve to undermine writing that otherwise contains great ideas. With our copy editing service, we will help you write what you are trying to say in the most effective manner. 

Proof Reading

Proof reading is the penultimate step in the writing process just prior to printing or publishing your final composition. Whether you are drafting a letter on behalf of your philanthropy, crafting a personal essay, preparing a new resume or delivering a letter to your customers, nothing speaks more about you than the quality of your written work. Even if you are a highly skilled author, a good proofreading is your protection against redundancies, typographical errors, improper punctuation or the occasional grammar or punctuation error overlooked in the copy editing process. Feel confident that your work is at its finest. Have it proofread by a second set of eyes.

Content Editing

Every written composition should be produced with consistent style, cohesive structure, logical organization, appropriate vocabulary, and proper syntax and grammar. We do not create writing or rewrite your work because we believe your work product should be your own writing. Our service can assist you in evaluating and commenting on your work from the perspective of the elements listed above. 

Resumés

Except for a live interview, your resumé is your best opportunity to make a good first impression. Outdated, incomplete, unappealing, error-prone resumés are guaranteed to eliminate your job opportunities regardless of your qualifications. Update your existing resumé with your current information. Once it is complete, submit it to us for style suggestions, copy editing and proofreading so your next employment application finds its way to the top of the pile.

Why Use Our Services

The best writers, even famous authors, use editors. In the vein of "two heads are better than one," the finest written words are almost always the work of writer and editor. Editing is in the same category of using a thesaurus, dictionary, spell-checker and/or style manual. If something is worth writing, it is worth writing well. Strive to make your written work product the best that it can be. Do what the professionals do: use a good editor before publishing or distributing your finished work.

How We Work With You

Every editing assignment begins with an initial client consultation. A mutually beneficial working relationship is dependent upon a clear understanding of the editing parameters, timeframes for performance, and other editor/client expectations. All editing services are performed on Microsoft Word using the tracking feature and returned to the client as a Microsoft Word document. We pride ourselves on producing quality work in a timely manner. Our services are charged on an hourly rate and billed upon completion of work or on a percentage completion basis for larger projects. Contact Olivia at oliviasever@iCloud.com for pricing.
