Copyediting and Proofreading
It's amazing the tricks our eyes can play on us; even the most advanced writers can miss a typo. By working with me, you will eliminate that possibility.
As your editor, I will diligently read and re-read your work for any spelling, punctuation, or grammar issues (proofreading). I also specialize in restructuring sentences and maximizing word choice to ensure that any messages you're trying to convey don't get lost in awkward phrasing (copyediting). By skillfully utilizing the combination of these two modes of editing, I can make your piece of writing look and sound its absolute best.
My rate is $0.02 (CAD) per word. However, I am committed to making my services as accessible as possible. If you feel unable to afford my rate, there are options available to you, beginning by filling out my financial aid form.
Fiction
Don't let your readers stumble over unseen errors, pulling them from the wonderful world you're creating.
Non-Fiction
Errors in non-fiction could cause loss of credibility. Let's work together to make sure that doesn't happen.
Thesis
Ensure that your school paper doesn't lose valuable marks on things that are as easily fixed as they are missed.
About Me
~
An avid reader and writer in equal measure.
Reading and writing have been twin passions of mine for as long as I can remember. I have years of experience and enjoyment in both fields, and I wholeheartedly believe it makes me a better editor.
When looking at a piece of work, it's incredibly beneficial to be able to examine the coin from both sides. I know as a reader when things become unclear and messages get lost, but as a writer, I also know how to fix them.
I've always had a penchant for editing, and it's something I genuinely enjoy. I have a sharp eye for errors, excellent judgment in correcting them, and over five years' experience doing so. I look forward to working together!
