About this service

Summary

I will proofread/copyedit ANY piece of media. I don't care if it is a book report, a news story, a social media post, a fanfiction, a birthday card, a pizza order or your social studies homework. Send it to me -- a professional writer, copyeditor and marketing professional -- to make sure you have nothing to worry about.

I will send you TWO final drafts of your project.

FINAL DRAFT 1 is a final copy of your project with just grammar revisions. In this draft, I will not be changing anything except for grammatical errors or genuine issues that affect the copy.

In FINAL DRAFT 2, I input personal editorial changes that I think may be a nice revision to the piece.

Basically, you will receive TWO complete, final copies with differences in syntax, diction and form between them. FINAL DRAFT 1 will be a pure run of the mill, cut and dry copyediting. FINAL DRAFT 2 will be all the revision of draft 1, with some personal stylistic changes added.

This allows me to try out different tactics with your project and for you to be provided with writing from a REAL HUMAN utilizing NO-AI that you may enjoy. Win-win.

So, in closing: you receive TWO final drafts at the end of the project.

Process

Step 1: You reach out to me with the piece you want proofread (MAX. 3,000 words) and the format/style guide in which you want the piece edited in. During this time, you also make sure to tell me ANY and EVERYTHING that you want to make sure I know before editing your piece.

Step 2: I get to work reading through your piece diligently so I can meet my guaranteed 24hr turnaround time.

Step 3: I apply edits to TWO different drafts of your project. One with a full revision and one with a full revision plus a few of my proposed personal edits.

Step 4: I send back the original copy of your project along with TWO final drafts, you fall in love with the work before you and you leave me a nice review!
