Erika Ready
Editor and proofreader
Getting your project ready to publish
You know your subject inside out. Putting it into words can take time though.
You plan, write, read, change the plan, write, read again … and wonder, is it ‘finished’ yet? Have you got your message across?
Wherever you are in that process, I’ll work carefully and sensitively to help you reach your goals.
How will editing help?
A professional edit will focus on details, style and structure. Nothing should interrupt your connection with your readers.
I’ll copyedit your text, checking that it’s complete, consistent and clear. I’ll work with you to suggest and agree any changes, leaving you in control.
Worried you’ve missed something?
Fresh eyes catch errors that are easy to miss when you’ve been close to your writing for so long.
I’ll do a range of proofreading checks on words and layout, so you can be confident when you take that final step to publish.
Website not getting the results you hoped for?
Has ‘update website’ always slipped to the bottom of your list?
A professional website edit will focus on how your visitors read online. I’ll check for anything that’s old, broken or difficult to use.
Starting from scratch? I’ll focus on structure and design brief, for content that works.
Not really sure, just want some help?
I adapt how I edit, to suit you and your project.
Perhaps dip your toe in with a sample edit?
