Copy Editing & Proofreading Services for Authors and Businesses
My purpose is to help authors and businesses use the written word to confidently present themselves to their audiences and realize the success that they have envisioned.
With a focus on clear communication and providing a superior customer service experience, I aim to collaborate with individuals and businesses to accurately proofread and lightly edit their written content.
I will edit each document to improve clarity and conciseness while retaining the author's unique voice. Every job is handled with discretion and confidentiality and delivered within an agreed-upon deadline.
My name is David, and I'm happy that you've found me here. Grammar and punctuation have been a passion of mine for some time. My work as an editor began more than twenty years ago when I noticed that many of my college classmates needed help to tidy up their writing assignments. In the years since, I've worked with authors just like you that are looking to add that professional last touch to their writing.
I am a proud member of:
The Editorial Freelancers Association, the largest and oldest national professional organization of editorial freelancers.
The Freelancers Union, the largest and fastest-growing organization representing 56.7 million independent workers across the country.
Distributed Proofreaders, an organization dedicated to the preservation of written works that are in the Public Domain in the United States by converting them into high-quality, freely available digital transcriptions in association with Project Gutenberg.
When I'm not editing, I enjoy playing guitar, reading books, watching movies with my family, camping, and sauntering through the woods.
