I read sensitively and master the details. Then I orient your language, matching your message to your audience.

Imagine my copyediting as a compass, directing your content to your target destination.

First, to connect your personal goals and style with your audience’s needs, I review the word choices that define your purpose and tone. 

We might call this ‘language editing’. Your voice will still sound like you, just more consistent, focused, and appropriate! And we’ll sift out any excess baggage to give your word count some headroom.

Second, to bridge your argument to your target readers, I review the details that shape the collective form of your words.

We might call this ‘copyediting’ and ‘structural editing’. Your entry requirements of grammar, punctuation, headings, citations, and figures will fit your publishing platform’s style. Meanwhile, we’ll ensure your data, logic, and structure are aligned so your argument’s substance can shine.

You can expect tracked changes, comments, and queries on your edited document. You review them, and we’ll do a second round if necessary.
