Overview of Services
• Writing
I will take your ideas, outline or notes and create a text that effectively communicates to your intended reader.
• Critique
It helps to have an independent eye look over your manuscript. I can do that and give you a professional opinion about what your text does or does not need, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and how it can be improved.
• Substantive Editing
A substantive edit consists of a thorough review and revision of content to improve its organization and quality of communication.
• Copyediting
Copyediting involves checking the manuscript's language for spelling, grammar and punctuation, as well as adjusting the style to make it consistent and conform to the chosen standard. I am conversant with the most common styles used, and am happy to accommodate individual style preferences. Another element of copyediting is ensuring that the text flows logically. (For example, a person described as having brown eyes at the beginning of a manuscript in most cases should continue to have brown eyes throughout the remainder of the text.)
• Proofreading
Traditionally, proofreading is comparing a newly output document to the previous marked-up version, and marking the new document to indicate any corrections that were missed or any newly introduced errors. While doing this side-by-side comparison, a proofreader will note as well any other obvious typographical errors. Proofreading can also refer to simply reading through a document and marking typographical errors without referring to a previous version of the document.
• Fact Checking
In fact checking, the editor reviews the manuscript and verifies simple statements of fact, such as names, dates and numbers. For instance, if a text mentioned that a given mountain was the highest in its area, the fact checker would consult an atlas or other reliable reference to ensure this was an accurate statement.
• Research
If you need assistance gathering information, I can help.
• Input
While direct electronic manipulation of document materials is becoming increasingly popular, many people still prefer to work with hard copy. I am flexible and can work electronically, on paper or in any combination of the two. I am equipped with both Macintosh and PC systems, and am proficient with a variety of word processing applications.
• Design and Layout
My focus is on textual, rather than graphic, materials. I can provide you with an appealing design that effectively presents your written message. Layout can be reproduced in word processing or PDF format.
