Editing Services

I do editing for individuals and companies who want to produce the best possible written documents. My clients value my experience and my attention to detail. They know that I will take great care with the ideas they are expressing and that I will edit carefully so their materials are clean, clear, and professional.

Is this you?

• You've completed a first draft of your manuscript and need professional help polishing it for publication.
• Your dissertation advisor has suggested you hire someone to give your chapters a good once-over for inconsistencies and APA formatting.
• You know that your report or web text could use another set of trained eyes before you release it.
• You've reworked your document so many times you can't see what's there anymore.

Jill's editing and effective inquiry have been instrumental in helping me articulate my ideas and strengthen my voice. With her help in deciphering APA, my dissertation project is clean and precise. Jill has helped bring the craft of great writing within my reach.

What I will do for you:

• Correct any errors in grammar, punctuation, or standard usage.
• Bring to your attention inconsistencies in content (repetitions, contradictions) or places that are unclear or confusing.
• Provide stylistic suggestions that can make your writing clearer and effective. I am very respectful of the voice of my clients; my job is to make their writing the best it can be.
• Make organizational suggestions (how you can move paragraphs or ideas around) so that the logic and flow are the best they can be.
• Edit the reference list or bibliography to make it compliant with MLA, APA, or Chicago style manuals.
• Explain grammar and style issues simply and clearly so you can become a better writer.
• Bring your writing to native fluency if you are a non-native speaker of English.
• Help you organize your project and keep you moving forward toward completion.
