Proofreading

I review writing for grammar, punctuation, spelling and basic mechanical errors. This is best for work that is already mostly finished but needs a final polish before being submitted or published.

Copy Editing

I edit for clarity, consistency, grammar, sentence structure and readability. This includes fixing awkward wording, repeated phrases, unclear sentences and small issues that can distract readers.

Line Editing

I focus on the rhythm, flow and strength of the writing. Line editing looks closely at word choice, sentence movement, tone and whether the writing sounds natural while still keeping the writer’s original voice.

Clarity and Conciseness Edits

I help make writing easier to understand by cutting unnecessary wording, tightening long sentences and making sure each idea is clear. The goal is to make the piece stronger without making it feel flat or over-edited.
Consistency and Fact-Checking Support
I check for consistency in names, dates, titles, locations, formatting and repeated details. I can also help identify factual claims that may need to be verified, attributed or revised.

Style Guide Support

I have familiarity with MLA, APA, AP and Chicago-style guidelines. I can help with citations, capitalization, titles, formatting and other style expectations depending on the project.

Feedback

I give bigger-picture feedback on structure, organization, tone, audience and purpose. This is useful for drafts that need help with direction, paragraph order, argument, pacing or overall focus.

Journalism and Article Editing

I can help edit articles, profiles, interviews, reports and other journalistic writing. I focus on accuracy, fairness, clear structure, strong leads and making sure the story communicates well to readers.

Academic and Essay Editing

I can help with essays, school assignments, research-based writing and reflective pieces. I focus on clarity, organization, tone, argument and making sure the writing stays focused on the assignment’s purpose.

Formatting and Layout Support

I have experience thinking about how writing appears visually on a page or website. I can help with headings, spacing, organization, readability and basic layout choices that make a document or page easier to follow.

Accessibility and Inclusivity Editing

I edit with audience, fairness and respect in mind. This includes looking for unclear, biased, harsh or unnecessarily exclusive wording and helping the writing become more precise without changing its meaning.
