Quick, Eagle-Eyed, and Detail-Oriented Copyeditor and Proofreader

"Christy this is absolutely AMAZING! We've all spent so much time in this document it was great to get a fresh pair of (professional) eyes on it! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive review, and delivery ahead of schedule. We really appreciate it." -- Ashley W. (Upwork client since July 2021) "Your suggestions are always spot on, Christy! The text flows so well after you review it. Thank you!" -- Cristina O. (Upwork client since August 2019) "You always make a difference with your edits, but with this report, I feel they were a real game-changer! Really took it to the next level! Thank you so much!" -- Eliza T. (Upwork client since August 2019) "Thanks for the quick turnaround, Christy! Your edits are great, and I really appreciate the transition words you suggest since that’s not a strong part of my writing. Much appreciated!" -- Patrick M. (Upwork client since August 2019) * Do you have a blog post that just doesn't flow? * Is your business document inconsistent and in need of formatting and a set style? * Does your magazine have spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes? * Does your book need a fresh set of eyes to spot tiny errors and check references? An efficient, honest and dependable proofreader and copy editor, I'll review your written work for all of these and more, and revise it as necessary to fit the appropriate reading level for your audience. I have nearly 20 years of experience editing many types of content -- from product descriptions with just a handful of words to manuscripts with more than 200,000 words. I've reviewed content in a wide range of topics and formats, including: * Advocacy & legislative communications * Annual reports * Bible studies * Blogs * Children's books * Christian non-fiction books * Cookbooks * College application essays * Educational content * Executive summaries * Fundraising materials * Healthcare content * Human Resources (HR) content * Insurance communications * Interior design articles * Internal announcements * Letters * Marketing pieces * Magazines * Newsletters * Newspapers * Nominations & award applications * Non-fiction books * Non-profit association content * Policies * PowerPoint presentations * Press releases * Private school communications & documents * Real estate listings, reports, blogs & articles * Recipes * Resumes and cover letters * Sales collateral * Self-help books * Social media posts * Student worksheets, workbooks & tests * Training materials * Transcripts * Upwork profiles * Websites, web pages & metadata I enjoy organizing and simplifying text through editing. Check out my samples to see how I can help you improve your written work, and contact me for your next project!
