Adds the human element to the powerful spell-checker feature in most applications. |

Spell-Checking |
|
Seeing dangling participles, the editor grabs her pencil and begins to scribble. |

Wow. I’m nice, aren’t I? I can work from handwritten copy but only if it is legible. Be advised that this service is on the pricey side, so if it’s a long piece of work you want done, it might be better if you took a typing course. |

Typing from Handwritten Copy |
|
If you’re writing non-fiction, this doesn’t mean I’m going to do research for your whole book, it means I’ll try to help you find what you’re looking for. In many cases, I’ll contact the source for you. |

Copy Editing |
|
This means reading your manuscript and telling you what I think of: (1) the story; (2) the writing; (3) maybe the characters; (4) where it starts putting me to sleep, if it does; (5) where it wakes me up again, if it does. Note: I’m neither an agent nor a publishing editor. I’m just The Writer’s Friend. A good friend is honest. |

Publishers prefer “clean” copy, meaning it’s obvious someone has gone over it. Copy editing is basic spelling- and grammar-checking combined with occasional sentence restructuring. Manuscript editing is what publishers pay their editors to talk their authors into doing. |

Self-publishing seems to be the latest trend for writers, but it’s not always easy to design your work to make it palatable to the reader. That’s where I come in. |
