I offer my writing and editing services for specialized projects such as speechwriting, technical writing, and creative writing. Please read the beginning excerpt from one of my creative works, "Joy & Mischief", and be assured that I will exceed your expectations for masterful writing. I can create new styles and corporate voices or replicate previous brand voices to maintain consistency. Ceremonials such as eulogies, wedding speeches, award acceptances, and other high-importance life events are domains for which paying a premium for my services is worthwhile. Also of note is that I am a twice published author, and a professional lyricist. Redemption by Peter Pietri (my pseudonym) has exceptional reviews, and I recently self-published 2100 Dreams. I also did the lyrics and composition for Electric Heartbeats by Peter Pietri which is available on all major music streaming platforms. Let's talk, and please review the two writing excerpts below. These excerpts are to demonstrate my precision of language and eloquence; I adjust style, voice, and diction in accordance with a target audience and occasion. Opening of 2100 Dreams: "Is there a better example of irony than the democratic selection of dreary weather as voted for by “citizens” of the robot-revered city of Light’s Hope? Citizens is in quotation marks because we’re misanthropists at best, miscreants most of the time…and “citizens” are presupposed to possess adamantly defended rights, which we do not. We have rights, at least on archived paper or, in my case, encoded in ancient Kindle ink. But they are hardly well-protected. I write to you dear reader of my journaled journey, captured through my yesteryear tablet, nearly a century old. Bequeathed to me, as it happens, by a former lover. Her name was Melody, and her name suited her well. She was a songbird, in attire, in voice, in smile, in hope. She loved our city, or at the very least, she only ever talked about the parts of it she loved. Light’s Hope. She would whisper the title to me in the morning whilst holding a cup of synthetic, productivity-boosting almost-coffee, as if the name of the city was a beautiful secret she couldn’t help but tell me about. "Once upon a chronologically-challenged timelessness, or else a particular instance of an infinite array thereof, there does exist an orphanage. An orphanage like any other, or else it satisfies the criteria for taxonomical classification as such and deviates in most if not all other aspects of actuality. That is to say, it is a building, and it harbors orphans, five fellows and fellellas - five iridescent tulips as lovely as the menagerie garden which surrounds their wrought-iron home. A bastard’s bastion, a kingdom and a half, that decrepit theatre and its mystic accompaniments and its faded ostentation which enjoys a glory resurgent through the part of its playful paupers. Never have your eyes laid upon a splendor that could hold a candle to the windows as-of-yet unshattered."Proofreading

Welcome! I appreciate you stopping by to learn a little about who I am and what I can do for you. Editing is my calling, and I have invested myself into providing you with the best value so that everyone wins in the end. I understand that writing and publishing is a long process, so I'm here to make it a little easier. My goal is to set you on your way with content that you are proud to publish. Writing is a messy process, so my job as your copyeditor/proofreader is to help you clean that mess up and present your message to the world with confidence. If that book you’re writing is the culmination of years of work, you’re going to want to make sure it says exactly what you want it to say—no chances for miscommunication or embarrassing typos. If you write a company newsletter, let’s work together to be sure that your drive and vision for your company comes through clearly in the columns you and other contributors write. I’m not picky about the medium you use for your content—book, short ebook feature, newsletter, blog series, and anything else between—I work with whatever you bring me. I AM picky about my work, though, so you can be sure that I will give you my best. My highest goal is your greatest success. In addition to what I mentioned already, I've also worked with fiction, nonfiction, and medical texts, and have experience with Chicago, MLA, APA, AP, and Turabian styles (and any combination or modifications in between). I completed my Masters of Science degree in Publishing from Pace University in 2016 and have 10 years of copyediting experience.Proofreading
