My love of the English language gave me a nerdy edge when I was young. At the time, it felt like a curse. As an adult, I embrace the nerd within. With line and copy editing as my specialty, my focused attention to detail is exceptional, as well as my dedication and follow through on projects. As I approach each new project, my philosophy is to maintain author authenticity and exceed my own expectations. My tastes are eclectic, and my mind is sharp.
What I look for while line & copy editing:
- Typographical Errors
- Grammatical Mistakes
- Run-on Sentences
- Incorrect Punctuation
- Subject-Verb Disagreements
- Sentence Fragments and Lengths
- Spelling Errors
- Capitalization Misuse
- Verb Tense Shift
- Dangling and Misplaced Modifiers
- Common Errors in Word Usage
- Pronouns - Antecendent Agreement
- Pronouns with Essential and Nonessential Clauses
- Structure and Theme
- Organization
- Syntax
- And More
