Service Description:
I was previously the managing for the academic history journal Agricultural History before it moved from NDSU to Rollins College, Florida. Since I chose not to follow my job I began freelancing.
Why should you hire a copyeditor/editor/content writer/proofreader? Whether you are distributing documents strictly inside your business or company or you are displaying them to the public, spelling, grammar, and other errors render your document unprofessional. Not only do such mistakes erode your customers' or clients' respect for you, but how can you require the best from your employees if you don't show them high standards?
Copyeditors format documents for typesetting, correct grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors, and apply styles to the document (like the Chicago Manual of Style). Sometimes copyeditors may also cut or remove text. Copyeditors follow the Five Cs: make the copy clear, correct, concise, comprehensible and consistent.
What is proofreading? Proofreaders ensure that no mistakes or errors occur during typesetting. Technically speaking, proofreaders are not responsible for spelling, grammar, etc., but as it is their job as the last set of revising eyes to handle a document before final publication, proofreaders often do correct obvious mistakes.
Copywriters provide the material for anything from ads to brochures and handouts and even internal documents for other companies and businesses.
Editing is a much more substantive process than copyediting. Editors do everything that copyeditors do, but editors also make sure that a piece holds together logically and clearly and strongly delivers its message. Editors add text, cut text, and move text, as well as ask questions or make suggestions to the author to achieve all this. Quality editors also respect and maintain the author's voice and style.
Online content writing is writing the texts that you read on web pages, whether it is a straightforward description of the web site and what it offers or an article you commission to help and inform visitors to your site. By using keyword phrases repeatedly throughout web page content, an online content writer increases your visibility and relevance to search engines, which helps bring in visitors and increase your conversion rate.
What do I do with creative writing? Creative writing is exactly what you think it is. Do you need a short story or a poem, perhaps you need something for a children's section? I can do that!
Indexing is pretty straightforward. I search diligently throughout your work and create an index of people, places, ideas, and other important things or events that your readers can search, just like at the end of a book. Some journals also index, although this is declining due the evolution of online publication.
