Quality content should excite, intrigue and engage the reader. If a document is plagued with errors, it reduces the window of opportunity to grab the reader's attention. Therefore, when it comes to the written word, it is important that you have the right editor for your work. Editing and proofreading require an eye for detail. On a first read, I hunt for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling (as per the client’s specifications, i.e., US or UK). On a second read, I delve deeper without changing the voice, story, message or style of the client. With impeccable English and a solid understanding of writing fundamentals, I provide comprehensive editing and proofreading for fiction and non-fiction books, blog posts, marketing material, academic works, medical/legal documents, emails etc.
Following are the other errors I work on:
• Syntax
• Tense inconsistencies
• Artless or ill-placed articulation
• Superfluous spaces
Being a good editor requires more than knowing where to put a comma or how to string a few words into a coherent sentence. Thus, I also provide editorial consultancy. I ensure that the language used is audience-appropriate, enhance the clarity and readability of the document and take rough drafts to a whole new level. I guarantee high-quality work and effective communication with every client. I am willing to provide samples or do a sample edit for you. I look forward to working with you on your project!
I charge $0.02/word, that is, $10/500 words.
