Proofreading & Editing Services

Never underestimate the power of excellent writing

Proofreading

My proofreading services comprise paying particular attention to visible writing errors that need correction – because writing not including such errors can give you a more professional image and edge. Proofreading can be done independent of editing services. Consider using my editing services if you want more in-depth examination and correction of your writing.

My proofreading services include:

  • Spelling
  • Punctuation, such as periods, commas, colons, and semicolons
  • Grammar
  • Correct usage of words that sound the same (homophones)
  • Quotation marks and apostrophes
  • Removal of double spaces after periods
  • Words repeated twice, such as “to to”
  • Consistency of spelling, capitalization, formatting, and style

Editing

Editing services are a more in-depth review of your content. They embrace both proofreading services and line editing. Editing is the process of making changes and suggestions that improve the overall quality of your writing, particularly in relation to language use and expression. A good editor ensures your content contains sharp and consistent language, is clearly expressed, and improves readability. In essence, the writing should flow evenly and naturally.

My editing services include all proofreading services, plus:

  • Clear expression and overall readability, such as choosing words that better express your ideas
  • Appropriate use of active vs. passive voice
  • Suitable tone for your audience
  • Unnecessary and frivolous words
  • Gendered language used correctly
  • Major consistency errors in formatting, etc.
  • Next Steps…

“Kathi was amazing! She clearly understood what I was looking to get out of my documents to be edited. She edited my bios in an eloquent and rapid pace. She brought my vision to life and I would definitely recommend her services.”

— Ashley Hill | Private Client

“Kathi is a well-seasoned, sought after, proofreader/editor who I strongly recommend. I have had the pleasure to work with Kathi for many years at COINS USA. She is a true professional and a trusted colleague/advisor who has helped me and many others on countless occasions to improve and correct our writing. I often have to create technology-based documents for both non-technical and technical audiences. Kathi always does a great job proofreading my work, tweaking/fixing my messages to make them clearer and grammatically accurate. She is able to take on any topic and works efficiently to meet deadlines. Thanks to Kathi I am always confident in the work I publish after she has performed her review.”
