Editing

Getting It Right

If you’ve misspelled the word “professional” on the awning outside your building, then it’s unlikely customers are going to have faith in your “Professional Dry Cleaning Services.”

Editing matters!

Clean, coherent, consistent copy confers credibility. And with extensive editing experience, I know how to make it right. “Who” vs. “whom”? No sweat. Knowing that the question mark goes outside the quotation marks in that example? Years of practice.

I can use the Associated Press Stylebook or the Chicago Manual of Style, or I can write a style guide specific to your organization. I like red pens.
