Editing and Proofreading Services
Already have a draft? I make it clear, consistent, and ready to publish. This is for brands, small businesses, and writers with a draft that needs a final polish.
Clearer, Consistent Writing
My background is in traditional writing and editorial practice, where precision and clarity come first. I work to the deadline you set, and I will tell you early if something would not fit.
Proofreading and structural editing. Proofreading fixes spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Structural editing looks at the bigger picture, including the order of your ideas, your headings, and how the piece flows, so readers can follow your point from start to finish.
Tone, clarity, and consistency fixes. Making sure the piece sounds like you all the way through, says what you mean in plain words, and uses the same style from start to end, including spelling, names, and formatting.
Content planning and style refinement. Help with deciding what to publish and how it should read, such as topic ideas, a simple plan for what to post and when, and a style you can reuse across your pieces.
What’s Included
Edited for your own use. You send your draft, I edit it, and I send it back to you. You publish it wherever you like, under your own name or your brand’s.
Edited and published on this blog. A piece that fits this blog is edited and posted here on Squeaks by PB as a guest post. It is labeled as a guest post, names the author or brand, and includes one link of their choice.
When you message me, just say which one you have in mind.
Two Ways to Work Together
Send your draft, a few lines on what it is for, whether it is for your own use or this blog, and your deadline. If you follow a style guide or have spelling preferences, include those too. I reply within a week with next steps, a rough timeline, and the level of editing that fits, from a light proofread to a bigger restructure. You get the edited draft back and can ask for changes once, with all your feedback sent together, as explained in the Terms of Service. Ready-to-order packages for posts and product descriptions are coming soon, so you will be able to order directly from this website.
How It Works
A draft can be full of good ideas and still be hard to read. I have edited manuscripts for grammar, punctuation, and coherence, including partially translated ones, and I keep your voice while fixing what gets in the way. Tools catch typos, but a human editor understands what you meant to say.
