๐‚๐Ž๐๐“๐„๐๐“ ๐‚๐‘๐„๐€๐“๐Ž๐‘๐’: Have you ever published a document with “pubic,” “orgasm,” or “manger” in it when you meant public, organism, or manager? ๐Ÿ™„

Do you know why it’s the “people’s” choice, not the “peoples’ ” choice?

How about using I, me, or myself … or a semicolon? Do you know the American grammar rules for those?

The writing world is a wondrous place, and if you’re writing for public consumption, youโ€™re writing content you hope impresses others.

You might be:

โœ… A blogger.
โœ… A job seeker.
โœ… A web-content creator.
โœ… A rรฉsumรฉ creator, helping clients land their dream jobs.
โœ… An author of nonfiction / business-related books โ€“ even memoirs!
โœ… A ghostwriter, helping clients get hired or sell their products or services.
โœ… A podcaster wanting to turn the conversations into written form for a magazine or website.

โ‰๏ธBut do your presentations show your (or your clients’) ideas to full advantage? Have you ever had a professional editor look over your work just to make sure?

You may be one of the otherwise smart writers who have lost track of the American English grammar rules, so your work isn’t being seen in the best light. Like most of us, you may have taken your last grammar class when you were too young to give a rat’s … rump about using pronouns or punctuation correctly.

How could you possibly have known then how important all that would be to you as an adult, as a professional?

Of course, now that you do know how important it is … how do you find the help you need?

Well, you could call me. ๐Ÿ˜

While I may know little about your topic, I will ensure that your readers believe you do. I will smooth out your writing, making it look and be right. I will find the right words and punctuation so your ideas shine, all while preserving your unique voice.

My clients include first-time & veteran bloggers, web-content creators, ghostwriters, nonfiction / business book authors, corporate annual report creators, podcasters needing their interviews created in written form, and even CNBC, Huffington Post, Inc., The Good Men Project, Entrepreneur, and Influencive columnists.

Most are American, as I am, although several are internationals whose different version of English keeps me on my toes.

Just an FYI: I strongly believe in using the Oxford comma all the time.

So, if you’re looking for an editor or proofreader, drop me a note. Let’s see if I’m a good fit for your project.
