You’re a mastermind creator with a gift for the written word and the need to share your voice. Writers are a special breed with an extraordinary ability to put pen to paper to communicate information and engage readers. They don’t want to write; they need to.  It’s in their DNA. Writers are artists who use a pen or laptop instead of a paintbrush.

Some artists, however, can become too close to their masterpiece. They can get overly attached to their words, and that's when things get overlooked.  Things like pronouns, minute punctuation details and overused words or phrases. This is where an eagle-eye editor enters the picture. Every successful writer needs to fine-tune his or her writing, and the only way to do that is through collaboration with others.

A skilled editor will catch grammatical, punctuation and typing errors; determine where material should be pared down or built up; and enhance for flow, organization and anything that can make or break your words. I will review your piece in its entirety and ask questions on any unclear plots or thoughts. My job is to make your words dance on the page and captivate readers, and we will work in tandem to ensure both your words and your voice remain authentically yours.

There are tons of editors out there. So why choose me? Because this is what you get when you work with me:
  • Stress relief: When I edit your work, you no longer have to worry about all the nitpicky details of grammar and punctuation. Save yourself hours of Googling and checking various resources and leave those details to me. This way, you can focus your full attention on what you love: creating content.
  • Voice preservation: You keep your voice and writing style. I don’t want to take away your voice; rather, I want to enhance it. The suggestions I make are in step with your specific writing style. As your editor, you don’t have to worry that I will “take over” your voice and turn your work into something you don’t recognize. Keeping the content in your voice and style is highly important to me.
  • Thorough explanation of each grammatical or sentence structure change: Have you ever written something, handed it over to an editor, and then gotten it back with a bunch of deletions and vague comments such as “no” or, “needs work”? I take the time to explain each change I make (aside from punctuation or spelling errors) and why I am making each suggestion. If I am using a source, I cite that source for your reference. When editing manuscripts, I highlight plot inconsistencies, gaps, and story and character development areas, putting myself in your reader’s shoes. You’ll never receive work from me and wonder what I meant or why I made a certain change.
  • Timely deliverables and responsiveness: Just one person missing one deadline can cause a cascade of headaches for many others. I have been editing and proofreading professionally for more than a decade and I have yet to miss a deadline, no matter how short the timeline or how many projects I already have on my plate. I also give you status updates if it’s a longer piece (such as a manuscript), so that you are not left wondering for weeks on end if I’m even working on your project. 

When you use Precision Editing Services, you get top-quality services at affordable prices. You get an editor who cares about and respects your words, your craft and you as a person; not just another "client." Every client gets my undivided attention. 


Editing

I care as much about your work as you do. I'll meticulously edit your grammar, spelling, word choice, structure, flow, tone, factual information, and organization. 
Proofreading
​
We all know Spell Check isn't perfect. It misses inconsistencies and incorrect word usage. This is where polished proofreading comes in. I'll scrutinize your document for typos, punctuation and spacing issues, and formatting.

Typing and formatting services

If you prefer to write the old-fashioned way with a pen and paper, and would rather send a hard copy for editing or proofreading, I will type and format it according to your specifications.
