Not only do I proofread quickly, I proofread accurately. If you are in need of a comprehensive and accurate proofreader, you've come to the right place. I edit advertising pieces, web content, annual reports, large documents, scholarly writings, legal materials...any proofreading you need, I can provide.
My first goal in proofreading and/or copyediting is to know the audience for whom the writing is intended. That knowledge will determine the tone and style needed to accomplish the goals. My next goal is to follow the mantra of William Strunk in Elements of Style: clear, concise, and easy for the reader. Each word must be useful; if not, it should be either reworked or eliminated. No printed piece is worth anything if it is not understood by the reader. That perspective must be maintained at all times.
I can work with any author. Helping authors accomplish their goals in printed form is what I do.
I have proofread all types of print media from brochures, newsletters, and capital campaign materials to college recruitment pieces. Working for an advertising agency as the quality control manager, I am experienced with the printing process and all the steps where proofreading and quality control are needed. Not only do I provide the basics of proofreading, I do so with a high work and quality ethic, making sure you are satisfied with the end product. I have worked with deadlines for years and I appreciate deadlines. I will do all I can to help you meet those deadlines.
I have proofread and copyedited legal manuals and training materials for professional legal associations.
I have been teaching college academic writing for 6 years, and I have edited and proofread many thesis and dissertation papers for academicians.
