Barbara B.

Meticulous Perfectionist Editor and Proofreader

I am a meticulous, natural-born editor and perfectionist with strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality. These characteristics will help me to make your Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or PDF document the best it can be and make you look good. I've edited everything from cozy mysteries to three documents for the Nigerian government, 5K, 12K, and 13K, written in legalese, and everything in between. 🔷 YOU WILL GET AN EDIT FROM A REAL LIVE PERSON. I will not simply use Scribbr or Grammarly and make the suggested edits. 🔷 WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID: "Barbara was amazing! She did such a quick and thorough turnaround. Highly recommend!" "Barbara edited my document to perfection! She was very communicative and finished the work ahead of schedule!" Recently one author said to me, “You ARE a superb editor!” because I caught a small but important error. "Barbara B. was born to edit. Her attention to detail is meticulous while going about her work in a cheerful manner, causing me to laugh quite a bit. I am indebted to her because her edits and suggestions improved my book a great deal. If you select her as your editor, which I highly recommend, you will be blessed and pleased by the results. Sister Gloriamarie A." 🔷 Using My Keen Eye For Detail, Here Is What I Would Do For You: ✔ Proofread to find errors in spelling, typing, punctuation, etc. ✔ Edit for: ♦ Grammar ♦ Tense consistency ♦ Sentence structure ♦ Cumbersome or confusing wording ♦ Inconsistencies of any kind ♦ Anything that needs to be changed to make your document clear, have superb readability and flow beautifully I can solve your editing and proofreading problems, whether you have a website, blog, email, proposal, manuscript, book, eBook, etc. I love editing. It comes naturally to me. I could do it in my sleep. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. Grammar errors drive me crazy. When I see a mistake in anything I read, whether it’s social media, websites, emails, magazines, documents, letters, etc., I am compelled to correct it, in my mind, if not out loud. My friends call me a grammar Nazi! 🔷 LET ME ASK YOU THIS: ¿Do you know what you want to say but lack the skills to present a polished document? I can help you with that. 🔷 I WOULD START WITH THESE QUESTIONS: ♦ Who is your audience? ♦ Do you want me to proofread only, or do you want in-depth editing? ♦ Are you open to suggestions about rewording or rearranging the text? ♦ When do you want the project delivered? 🔷 IF YOU NEED MY SERVICES: Please contact me and we can talk about how I can help you.
