If it’s worth writing, it’s worth having someone else check it!
The written word is important, and you never have the opportunity to make a second first-impression. From grammar to spelling, from to scene setting to dialogue, all of these things are as important in a novel as they are in a term paper. And often it’s those little errors that will make a reader move on or skip your work all together.
That’s why your copy should be as polished as possible when it goes to your reader.
Believe me, I know what I’m talking about.
I’m an experienced proof reader with two published mystery novels under a pen name. As part of that journey, I’ve spent years in critique groups helping other writers on their path to get published.
In my day job, I’ve spent a decade in local television news — proofing scripts before the newscast “goes live” and checking stories of the day before they are posted to the web or social media. And before that, I spent 15 years as a web site designer, making sure my clients had the best sites for their individual businesses.
So I know just how important an extra set up eyes can be for both long form and short form works.
Whether you’re looking for someone to critique the first draft of your novel, or give your blog post just “one more look,” I’m the right person for you.
