WHY PAY AN EDITOR AND PROOFREADER WHEN THERE ARE AI AND OTHER GRAMMAR PROGRAMS TO CHECK MY WORK FOR FREE?

Because these programs are just that—programs. They lack the human touch that ensures your writing stands out, capturing your unique voice rather than blending into everything else on the web.


While AI tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT help catch simple errors, there are several reasons to invest in a professional editor and proofreader.


Unlike AI, a professional editor brings true insight and an understanding of the full context, tone and nuance of your work. They ensure your words convey the intended impact, preserving your natural voice while enhancing clarity and style. While AI may make your work sound generic, an editor keeps your personality intact, strengthening the uniqueness of your voice.

Editors also go beyond simple grammar. They improve the flow, organisation, and readability of your writing, creating coherence that AI tools can’t replicate. Trained in catching context-specific subtleties and complex expressions, editors ensure the highest accuracy, which AI often misses.


A professional editor provides personalised feedback that AI can’t, guiding you on language, tone, and storytelling to help you grow as a writer. And when it comes to professional impact, credibility is essential. Editors bring expertise in various formats and styles, like APA and Chicago, giving your work a polished, publication-ready finish.


In short, editors offer the nuance, insight, and polish that no program can fully match, making them invaluable in bringing out the very best in your writing.

Editing is a collaboration—a partnership to refine and polish your writing while staying true to your unique style and voice. I’m passionate about helping your work shine!


Your website, social media, novels, and professional documents often shape the impression you leave on readers and clients. Grammatical errors or inconsistent writing can undermine trust and question your professionalism. I’ll ensure your content is flawless, presenting you as a credible authority and opening doors to expand your influence—potentially transforming your reach and impact.


Whether you need support for a single project or an ongoing partnership, I’m here to help. I take the time to understand your preferences and follow in-house style guides to ensure consistency across all your written materials. Let’s work together to make your words work for you!

PROOFREADING


As your proofreader, I will  thoroughly examine your content to ensure it is error-free. When you need a second pair of eyes to look over your manuscript and correct glaring errors that you no longer notice, a proofreader is a must.


Your text will be checked for:

  •    Typos
  •    Misspellings
  •    Incorrect word usage
  •    Correct grammar
  •    Capitalization
  •    Punctuation (including apostrophes and commas)
  •    Subject-verb agreement
  •    Formatting
  •    Typography
  •    Compliance with style guide

EDITING


As your copy editor, I am your partner in publication. I make sure your content is clear and concise, and I focus on both the small details and the big picture. The goal of copyediting is to polish and refine your text.


Your text will be checked for:

  •    Clear word choice
  •    Clear sentence structure
  •    Internal logic
  •    Consistency in style (typeface, spelling, capitalization, hyphens, dashes, etc.)
  •    Correct grammar
  •    Paragraph and sentence organization
  •    Readability
  •    Lack of continuity, repetition, and vague or awkward phrasing
  •    Compliance with style guide


I will also create a style guide for future editing of your work.

FORMATTING


As your formatting partner, I will ensure each document you produce looks professional. I take your documents to the next level by considering design elements and working with your specifications to create a visually appealing and organized layout.


Your text will be checked for:

  •    Inserting a dynamic list of charts, figures, and tables
  •    Adding headers and footers
  •    Generating a dynamic table of contents
  •    Adding captions to charts, figures, and tables
  •    Ensuring consistency in use of fonts and styles


I will also create a style guide for future formatting of your work.

Editing fees are calculated on a case-by-case basis depending on whether you need a light or heavy edit. After I review your content and specific goals, we can work out a rate that is acceptable to both of us.

My quotes include a final proofread once all suggested changes and edits have been made by the writer. This service is complementary as long as no major rewrites have been made.

I accept files in a variety of formats.: MS Word, other Office Suite files, PDF, or Google Docs.

Let me know if you have a different format, and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. 

Your convenience and satisfaction are my top priorities!

Meet your Editor

Ever since I was a child, I’ve been in love with books and words. My passion for language started early—I used to correct my grandmother’s and mother’s shopping lists, to their annoyance! 

Over time, that love evolved into a career dedicated to helping others tell their stories with clarity and confidence.


One of my favourite words is “Abracadabra”, said to be derived from phrases in Hebrew that mean "I will create as I speak" or Aramaic "I create like the word."  

With words you create worlds, bring characters to life, and transport readers to incredible places. My mission is to help you achieve that magic.

Whether you’re crafting a letter to a friend, a novel, or a professional document, I’m here to help you shine through your words and present your best work.


I believe in making you feel comfortable and proud of your writing. My goal is to boost your confidence, ensuring your work is free of mistakes while preserving your unique voice. With my help, you can share your writing with pride, knowing it’s polished, professional, and authentically you.


I genuinely love what I do, and I’m excited to help you bring your writing to life.
