We all have our strengths. Some can pound away at a keyboard to create powerful websites and apps. Others have a talent for storytelling that enraptures audiences young and old alike. My forte is a thorough understand of the mechanics of writing and a keen eye for detail.
Nowadays, running a simple "Spelling & Grammar Check" can provide feedback about misspellings, misused punctuation, and incorrect grammar and sentence constructions. While this proofreading assessment is valuable, the feedback fails to reflect on the core elements of effective communication. Beyond simply proofreading, an editor provides feedback on all aspects of a written work.
Is the writing clear, concise, consistent, and accurate?Is the writing readable, and is the tone appropriate for the audience?
Does the writing clearly portray the author's message?
Is the writing well-organized and well-formatted?
I can assist with proofreading and editing all types of written communications:
