You’ve Done the
Hard Part
Let Me Do the Rest
You’ve spent endless hours pouring your life force into your writing. It’s a bloodied, sweat-drenched tangle of words, but it’s your baby. You’ve obsessively revised and rewritten it dozens of times, and although you can’t stand to look at it any longer, you know it’s not quite ready for your loyal fans. This is where I come in . . .
As I Edit, I Address:
spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax
consistency in spelling, hyphenation, numerals, fonts, and capitalization
ambiguous or factually incorrect statements (when possible)
creative content and internal consistency
writing style and language use
In other words, I’ll correct your writing and enhance your voice.

I heartily recommend her!
Mikaela is a great line and copy editor. She not only corrects spelling and grammar gaffes but also tells me what’s not working (trust me, I need this), giving me time to improve the manuscript before it goes to print. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!
