Editorial Services

What editorial service do you need?

Copyediting

I will read through your manuscript, word for word. With changes tracked, I will fix all grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors; will flag any sentences that are not clear or understandable; will format the Word document according to any style guidelines you provide; and will suggest wording changes for clarity.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the last step before sending your project to the publisher or printer or submitting your finished academic paper. Proofreading makes sure no errors remain from the copyediting and correcting phases. This is a last check for stray errors.

Transcription

I will make a Word document of an MP3 or audio file. I will either type every word and sound or “smooth” the flow of words as I go, deleting “ums” and “uh huhs” so that the recorded conversation is readable. I transcribe lectures, sermons, interviews, meetings, and other audio files that need to be distributed in print.

Website evaluation

Ever wonder how other people view your website? Is your site effective and do all the links work? Do visitors to your site leave with unanswered questions? Let me have a look and I’ll send you a complete evaluation and recommendations for improvements. I’ll flag those misspelled words and grammar oops’s that tarnish the professionalism of your website.

Grants

I will review your grant to make sure it conforms to grant guidelines and polish the writing so that it makes your proposal stand out from the crowd.

Writing

Summaries, synopses, letters, website content, short bios, introductions, and much more. Just ask!

Legacy projects

Do you have an elderly (or not so elderly) relative with a history? We all have histories and childhood stories. It is a shame that future generations of your family will not know their stories after they pass. Let me help you preserve their stories for the younger generations.

Rates for Legacy projects can vary depending on the complexity of what you want. Please contact me to discuss your project.

Regarding Rates

My rates fall within the range of industry standards and are commensurate with my level of experience.
