PERSONALIZED EDITORIAL PROOFREADING WITH ATTENTION TO WRITER’S INTENT: WHY I CARE - WHY YOU MIGHT CARE - MY QUALIFICATIONS – INITIAL CONSULT

 

 

 

WHY I CARE: EXPERIENCES THAT CAUSED ME STRESS

1) PURPOSE AND CONTEXT ARE PRIMARY.

I have paid big bucks for proofreading only to find the need to correct it because the mechanized process (or training) failed to pay attention to my purpose.

2) POORLY WRITTEN FORM LETTERS GET NEGATIVE RESULTS.

I have received form letters so badly written they turned me off on the organizations sending them.

3) MY SPELL CHECK HAS LOST ITS MIND.

Not only is it unaware of the difference between “their” and “there,” it regularly makes grammar and spelling mistakes that cause me to wonder who constructed it.

 

WHO MIGHT APPRECIATE MY SERVICES

1) SELF-PUBLISHING AUTHORS.

The work, creativity, and style are yours, but I’ll go beyond very careful proofreading to attend to context and intent.

2) BUSINESS WRITERS CREATING LETTERS INTENDED FOR MASS MAILINGS.

I’ll look for clarity and simplicity of message and expectations for response.

3) INDIVIDUALS CREATING PERSONAL SOCIAL INVITATIONS AND NOTICES.

I’ll help fit them into the space you need, or convey the degree of warmth and welcome you want to express.

 

MY QUALIFYING EXPERIENCES
