Editing

Let's resuscitate documents old and new.

Editing brings life to older documents and gives your new docs and books a chance to be heard.

What project do you have that needs to be freshened, updated, shifted in tone, formatted for readability—or all of the above? It might be:

The book or report you've been writing, and writing, and writing. Let me give you a hand.
A manual that's in English--but it needs to be "translated" into American English.
A document that isn't having the effect intended. Maybe it's the layout or the format.
Policies that need updating.

Save yourself time and aggravation. Energize the old. Get the new published.

Copyediting and Formatting

I'll make your existing work flow, clearly and accurately.

Write and edit content, ensuring clarity of style, tone and voice.
Flag ambiguities, inaccuracies or information gaps for review or repair.
All that pesky punctuation! I'll set it straight.
Change text and headings for parallel structure.
Provide white space, to guide the reader and allow for better comprehension.
Verify captions, graphics, cross-references, and indexing.
Coordinate quality assurance testing of documentation.

Substantive Editing

I'll take apart that "fixer-upper" draft and then put it back together, only better.

Determine the project goals, recommend formats and delivery options.
Assess existing text. Delete what doesn’t match project goals, update what does.
Manipulate and relocate sections, paragraphs, and sentences.
Add, remove or change placement of headings.
Coordinate review cycles. Assess and incorporate reviewer comments.
Acquire illustrations and diagrams. Determine their style and placement.
