About this service

Summary

Have you already written an info-packed article or blog, but need an expert set of eyes to ensure it reads professionally?

I'm glad you're here, because first impressions mean everything online.

My background in psychology, filmmaking, and conversion copywriting means you don't just get an experienced Copy Editor, you also get a master storyteller with 8+ years of experience.

I fact-check, polish, and add personality to your words so you can press "publish" with confidence!

Posting high-quality articles and blogs consistently is what slowly and organically builds your authority online.

Send me a message to let me know when you'd like to get started, and let's check one more thing off your to-do list!

Process

You send me your pre-written article or blog in a Word Document, Google Document, or copy-pasted in an email, as well as a list of primary and secondary keywords you'd like to include.

I take a peek and ask questions about your brand voice, writing personality, and any reference articles you'd like to model your finished article after regarding tone.

You take a breather and I do my wordsmithing magic. I send you Version 1 of your edited article or blog within 2 days.

You input your comments into the shared Google Document, and I thoroughly revise where needed.

I present Version 2 to you within 1 day.

We do a virtual high-five. Your article or blog is polished so it shines and is ready to be published online!

FAQs

How do you deliver my copy edited article or blog?
All revised articles are delivered in a clean Google Document for easy sharing, commenting, and copy-pasting onto your website or preferred blog platform.
How many revisions do you include in your copy editing?
1 revision is included. I present Version 1 of your article or blog after a few days. Then, you leave comments on a shared Google Document in any specific sections you'd like tweaked. Then, I deliver Version 2, the finished version, within a day.
How do you make sure my edited piece still sounds like me?
When we get started, I ask you some questions to clarify your Brand Voice, writing personality, and request a reference article you'd like to model your edited article after (if applicable). It's important that your content sounds like you, that's why I build these touchpoints into my process.
