About Us

I have almost 20 years of experience in the online/digital publishing world. I am your copy editor, proofreader, and Fortune 500 Managing/Chief Editor. You will not find a better communicator, editing professional, or all-around good person to help you breathe life into once flat and lifeless documents.

I have expert experience editing in every genre and with every kind of document — from SOPs, press releases, language lessons, and marketing collateral to theses/dissertations, press releases, long-form documents, both fiction and non-fiction books, technological "mumbo jumbo," and much more!

With ample recommendations and testimonials from colleagues, clients, and supervisors, I assure you I can turn your document into works of art you'll be proud to share with the world.

How We Got Started

When I was still in college, my professors began commenting on my writing and grammar skills, showing my classmates how "eloquent" writing should look, and even announcing to students that I was being exempted from final exams because, even if I were to fail, I would still have a perfect final grade.

At first, I was terrified that they were going to cause me to be jumped and beaten up in the parking lot!

Eventually, though, students began asking me for help with their writing. So, I started scheduling peer reviews during my off time, successfully helping other students to improve their writing skills — and their grades!

Once in graduate school, I decided to see whether I could pick up a few copy editing jobs online and was very pleasantly surprised. Within a very short time, I found myself editing full-time. I loved it so much that I took a break from school to pursue this new venture. Years later, my business and my passion for language have only grown exponentially.

(more) I find that, nowadays, many businesses underestimate the importance of presenting customers with clear, concise, and engaging content. From a marketing perspective, presenting your business in the most professional manner possible seems obvious, but poorly written collateral and content filled with errors does just the opposite. Social media seems to have introduced the belief that grammar and spelling no longer matter as long as you know the proper emoticons, abbreviations, acronyms, and slang to use. However, marketing materials are often the first thing your customers see when they're looking for a new company to provide them with a product or service. Error-ridden content can not only make your business seem less professional but also be the determining factor for those potential clients. Error-free, engaging content really makes your business stand out above the competition.
