What is editing?

 

With my copy-editing hat on, I take whatever you've written -- be it notes or a reasonable draft -- and pull it into shape. After I've had my way with your words, your reader will enjoy a smooth read with a clear voice.

Here's how:

  • the language will be consistent (it'll use words that fit your voice)
  • each sentence will flow naturally from one to the next with a clear connection between them
  • say goodbye to silly miskates (ha ha)
  • add, remove and tweak words, sentences and even paragraphs to make them work their hardest
