Editing resuscitates older documents and give new ones a chance to be heard.

What project do you have that need to be freshened, updated, shifted in tone, formatted for readability. Editing covers plenty of ground. Let's resuscitate documents old and new.

• Policies that need updating. 
• 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.
• The document you've been writing, and writing, and writing. Let me take a look. 

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

Copyediting and Formatting

​I'll make your existing document 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.
• 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" document 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.
