Editing

As a thoughtful editor, I am careful not to change the meaning of your words, but instead to maintain a keen sense of your voice, tone, and writing style.

My goal always is to enhance the telling of your story, not tell a different story.

I’ve edited articles, brochures, dissertations, manuscripts, proposals, annual and summary reports, video scripts, fact sheets, and more.

Throughout the editing process, I am attentive to detail. My editorial services range from light copyediting to substantive editing, and include rewriting and reorganizing content. I ensure that your content is accurate, engaging, and adheres to established style standards.

Here are the types of questions I ask when editing:

• What is the purpose of the document?

• Who is the target audience?

• What is the preferred or required reading level?

• What is the preferred style guide?

• Is gendered language used appropriately?

• Is the document written mostly in the active voice?

• Is the overall structure sound?

• Are paragraphs in logical order?
