I can work with your style guide and dictionary of choice, as I'm familiar with all the major style guides from CMOS to New Hart's Rules. Just like in molecular biology, I understand that tiny mistakes in writing can make all the difference (with both your meaning and how professional you come across). Whether it’s a misplaced decimal point or a misspelt word, I’ll find it. I will carefully edit your work, making sure it is not only grammatically correct and free from spelling and punctuation errors but also consistent and coherent, so that you come across as polished and professional. I'll also attend to the formatting, making sure your paragraph indents and headings are where they're supposed to be.

You've poured your time and energy into writing your manuscript/report/article, you hit publish/send/print, and moments later, as you glance back over it, you experience a sinking feeling. "No", you whimper to yourself, "how could I have missed that mistake?" It's right there, glaring at you, on page 1. And page 4. And page 10. Don't worry, you're not alone. We've all done it. It's the reason why an extra pair of eyes is what you need. Not just any set of eyes. But eyes that are experienced in picking up typos, grammatical errors, inconsistencies, and formatting errors. Eyes that have read through hundreds of millions of words, identifying mistakes as they go. Eyes that are connected with a brain brimming with a wide array of knowledge. In depth knowledge on referencing systems, such as APA. Knowledge about the medical field, business, religion, spirituality, education. Those eyes, that brain, they belong to me. Hi, I'm Sarah and I am a professional copy editor and proofreader with over a decade of experience.
