Proofreading/copy editing
This service is for clients who have copy they want polished. I provide peace of mind by combing through articles, web copy, and other written content and eliminating errors in spelling, grammar, style and flow. I also double check facts and source links to make sure that they’re reliable and current. Proofreading is an important final step you don’t want to skip. Don’t be that person who loses readers because of jarring (and completely avoidable) errors in your copy — think of proofreaders as an investment in your professional image.
Fun fact! Despite being listed together as a single service, there is a difference between proofreading and copy editing. In general, copy editing is much more involved than proofreading. It includes print layout along with reading through copy for spelling and grammar. Proofreading, on the other hand, is more focused on the copy itself. It’s the process of checking and correcting copy for style, accuracy and flow. For most purposes, the distinction is irrelevant, which is why I have them lumped together — but now you know!
If you have a series that you're interested in having me write and you're interested in a flat rate, let's talk!
Blog/article writing
Sometimes you have an idea for a great article for your business or blog, but maybe you don’t have the time or the ability to write it yourself. An experienced writer can take your idea and create a story that engages and your readers. And we can do it quickly. When you hire a writer to create your content, you’re paying for our hard-won knowledge. The good ones understand writing best practices and can steer you towards the right word-count, key words, reading level and platform for your story. We also understand good research and how to sort the junk sources from the reputable ones. Please! No fake news!
This savvy is what I offer my clients. I’m familiar with WordPress and Yoast SEO and I’m experienced researching topics of all types. I also write headlines and meta descriptions, if you need them. And if you’re not sure what you want to write about, I am happy to help you brainstorm ideas for series or find holes in your existing content that we can fill together. LET’S DO THIS!
