Editing

Your words should represent you: polished, precise and professional.

Your customers and shareholders expect the highest quality, so even one mistake can make you look amateur – the typo on your menu, an ambiguous comma in your annual report, the wrong word used at the wrong time – and your message is lost.

Don’t let your reader get distracted by typos, poor punctuation, sloppy spelling or gnarly grammar. I can give your writing the professional polish it needs to get noticed for the right reasons.

Proofreading – I’ll read over your text and check for common errors. I will ensure that your punctuation, grammar, capitalization, verb tense, spelling, sentence structure, and message are all clear, correct and consistent.
Copy editing – If your document needs more work, I can provide an in-depth editing service. This could include helping to streamline messaging, restructuring for clarity, changing the wording or style for greater impact, and ensuring consistency across larger documents.
Document review – Let me check for errors before you submit that proposal, apply for that grant or send out that all important document.

Maybe English isn’t your first language.
Maybe you’ve been staring at your grant submission for so long that your eyes are starting to play tricks on you.
Maybe you just know that grammar and punctuation aren’t your strengths.
Nobody’s perfect; but successful people know when to delegate.

I was overwhelmed… and I was beginning to lose sight of my key objectives. Word Tree Writing Services helped make sense of the mess – simplifying my sentences, clearing up my punctuation, and recommending various options of how to structure things better.

A note for students: Academic Integrity
As a writer who holds both a BA and a Masters degree, I take academic integrity very seriously. Your work should reflect your ideas, your knowledge and your understanding of your subject.

When you’ve been working on something for a long time, it can be useful to have a fresh set of eyes check your work for clarity, consistency, and any grammar or punctuation errors. I am happy to provide this service as long as it does not conflict with your institution’s academic integrity policy. Any feedback given will be limited to these areas only and is intended to help you improve your own writing abilities. Get in touch for more info.
