—Do you feel inadequate due to poor writing and bad grammar?
—Are you frustrated with outdated business documents and promotional material?
—Are you sick and tired of getting rejected by agents and publishers?
Good writing isn't just about putting words on paper. The key to good writing is in choosing the right words. No matter the format—fiction or nonfiction, poetry or stories—every author has a unique voice and style. Editing creates a partnership between author and editor. It is my joy and privilege to work with authors to maintain their style and voice while strengthening and tightening the writing to achieve a compelling flow of words. The focus is not only on grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but also dialogue, structure, point of view, plot and character development, and narrative voice. All of these components interact to form a cohesive whole.
My work includes over 15 years of experience with book manuscripts, short stories, poetry, business documents, magazine articles, brochures, and website content. As an author, I’m familiar with the pressures and frustrations of writing and rewriting and am knowledgeable about the publishing industry. As an editor, I can offer you experienced perspectives and solutions.
Let The Right Word help you find the best way to express "you."
