Do you have to write, edit, or proofread something but just don't have the time, energy, or skills? Have you ever written something, thought it looked good, and then found embarrassing errors later on? Or worse, had someone else find them? No worries! I've got you covered.
What text can I help you with?
I work with resumes, cover letters, essays, high school transcripts, emails, blog posts, websites, books, menus, flyers, newsletters, curriculum, product and service listings--essentially, any items that include text.
Writing
I will compose your prose with precision and excellence so your meaning is crystal clear, flows with style, appeals to your target audience, and makes an impact.

Proofreading
I will examine your document at the word level and eliminate any remaining grammar and mechanical errors so you can publish wholeheartedly without worrying about wily word problems.

Copyediting
I will edit your project at the sentence level to make it clear, concise, consistent, and correct, so you can rest assured your writing is crystal clear and a joy to read.

Why do we make so many writing mistakes without noticing?
When we’re writing, we have a thought in our mind, an idea that we’re trying to communicate. What we want to say is perfectly clear in our minds. So, many times as we review what we’ve written, our brain recites our ideas, glosses over our words, and autofills our sentences instead of truly reading them.
That's why having a friend look over your work or proofreading it yourself after setting it aside for a few days helps a lot, but sometimes you still want someone editorially skilled, trained, and experienced to really examine your work, eliminate errors, and polish your prose. That’s where editors and proofreaders come in!

"Alyssa worked with me to help develop my children's book. I had already spent countless hours poring over the content of my story and did not think I had many mistakes left to catch. Not only did Alyssa catch many errors in content and grammar, she made my book sing. She was efficient, precise, and available. My book would not be the beautiful work that it is today without Alyssa as my proofreader. Anyone would be blessed to have her on their team!" |
