Editing and Proofreading
»I try to leave out the parts readers skip.«
Elmore Leonard
American novelist
Not only books require editing and proofreading – all written material does.
As a qualified editor and proofreader I can help you get your message across.
Every writer should definitely self-edit and proofread their work, but it is so much more effective to use an editor and proof-reader who can detect things like:
Comprehension
Correcting things that do not make sense to the reader.
Formatting
Correcting and improving appearance of your text
Consistency
Ensuring a consistent and polished end result of your text
Proofing
Correcting spelling, punctuation and grammar
Fluency
Ensuring a natural flow and rhythm of your text
Readability
Avoiding chain sentences and breathless paragraphs
»Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.«
