An editor’s job is to help make your written words as powerful and polished as they can be. Whether you’re updating your resume, writing a novel for publication, or submitting an article to a magazine, a professional editor’s careful time and attention can give your work the polished edge that it needs to compete in today’s market.
- Proofreading - The most basic service an editor provides is simple proofreading to correct any errors in punctuation, spelling and grammar, and to impose industry-standard style. If you just need a fresh pair of eyes to catch any typos that might have gotten past your computer’s spellchecker, simple proofreading may be sufficient for you.
- Copyediting - Copyediting expands on proofreading to include syntax and word choice suggestions for better readability and flow, as well as continuity checking to ensure internal consistency. This is the most commonly requested level of editing for the author whose concept is solid, to give the manuscript that professional polish to set it apart and make it shine.

- Resume Review Service - Basic proofreading for grammar, spelling and punctuation, as well as suggested word choice and syntax changes to highlight your skills in a positive and assertive manner.
