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 need 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 that "fixer-upper" draft apart 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.
