I specialize in macro editing of non-fiction articles in the 500- to 4,000-word range. I’m best at:
- Making the prose of analysts and academics accessible to lay audiences.
- Crafting engaging, readable summaries of complex topics.
- Packaging text, graphics, headlines, photography and captions.
- Spotting embarrassing screw-ups.
- Flagging legal liabilities.
- Defending brand voice.
What you need to know before contacting me:
- I do not work cheap (nor do I produce cheap work).
- I am not a proofreader. I will catch most typos, style errors and grammar goofs, but I will not catch them all.
