Professional, accurate, experienced. I care about language; I care that it be used with precision. Language used precisely can convey infinite meaning and nuance, and exert powerful influence.

An editor and writer for 15 years, I use both halves of my brain equally. I'm analytical and sharp-eyed and creative and imaginative. Clients love my lively rewrites.

Jessica Augustsson copy editing and translation service

My goal is to take your text and not only correct any errors in grammar and usage, but rework it where necessary, while acting as a first reader to sort out any possible confusion.

INDEXERS

 

Clive Pyne, book indexing services

Indexes make the difference between a book and a very good book. "Indexes are for readers who want quick access to information. The index provides a gateway to the author's ideas: it's the map to the book."
