As a proofreader, I am the last line of defence in the editing process. The final set of eyes catching errors that are missed during the copyediting stage prior to publication. With a Certificate of Excellence in proofreading from Proofread Anywhere, I can help you navigate through the difficulty of viewing your project objectively and catching those little errors that are easy to gloss over when you are overly familiar with your work. My focus includes: 🔷stray typos 🔷missed words 🔷double words 🔷punctuation errors 🔷spelling mistakes 🔷incorrect grammar 🔷basic formatting inconsistencies The next step is to schedule a twenty minute discovery call to get a more specific scope of work so I can follow up with a detailed proposal, timeline, and project cost.

Since then, I have earned experience and developed my copy editing and proofreading skills through freelance work with various projects. I work hard, learn fast, and will adapt to fit clients' needs: whatever style guide and spelling you want, I'll see that your project conforms to your choices. I've an eye for fine details in grammar and style, and I know how to organize my time to meet a deadline.

I offer adaptable editing, where I start by learning what the author's goals are including the intention of the writing as well as the desired readership. From there we work together to make your document the best version of itself. I work Monday to Friday (PST) and pride myself on being responsive and meeting deadlines. Returning clients love that I coach writers (at their request) to grow and therefore need less editing. I am interested in plain language editing, trauma-informed editing, and decolonizing editing and work to grow in these areas. I offer services in proofreading, copyediting (with optional line editing), and developmental editing. I'll also offer manuscript or chapter critiques. I have 20+ years of professional experience in the writing and editing industry. My education includes: MA in Creative Writing, Grad. Cert. in Instructional Design, BA in English, BAJ (Journalism), a Professional Editing Standards Certificate. I'm a member of Editor's Canada and CIEP (UK) and am familiar with common style guides (CMoS, CP, AP, APA, MLA). “(Shara) understands style sheets; excellent vocabulary, sense of idiom; catches nearly every subtle error – the ones that only the best candidates do. Shows both mechanical and literary editing ability.” I'm TOP RATED on Upwork. Let's connect! Find out more at shara dot ca

Do you want unique and plagiarism-free content writing that drives results? Let’s talk if you do. I specialize in well-researched original articles or blog posts. You know, the kind that’s written by a human for another human. I won’t use AI or scrape and “rewrite” existing content. And I always focus on the best way to provide value to your target reader so they stick around on your site. If you'd like, I can also help you determine what to write about. My main client gives me a keyword and a blank Surfer SEO document and trusts me to figure out the rest. As a result, I’m used to starting every article in content marketing mode. ➠ Which target reader persona am I writing to? ➠ What is the search intent behind this keyword? ➠ What stage of the marketing funnel is the reader in? ➠ What would an appropriate call to action be that isn’t weird? And if you want to rank on Google, I can help you with that too. I've hit #1 on Google with the featured snippet, and my articles frequently land in the top 10. I have experience with or have written on the following topics: ✅ Outsourced B2B services ✅ Video editing ✅ YouTube ✅ AI ✅ Finance & Accounting (Accounting Diploma) ✅ Digital Nomading & Entrepreneurship ✅ Personal Development ✅ Relationships ✅ Gardening (5 years FT work experience) But I'm open to writing on almost any researchable topic. And when we team up, I work on your project like I have equity in your business. I care and want to help you reach your goals. I also won’t disappear on you. I'll respond to all communication within 24 hrs. And if I’m unsure about anything - I’ll ask. So, how can I help? Send me a message or an invitation to kick things off. I’m happy to hop on a free 15-minute call to discuss.
