About me

Experience statement

Copyeditor — Proofreader — Marketing/Branding Content Specialist for Ditton Edits

As an experienced copyeditor and proofreader, I’ve worked on various projects from novels to top-tier university marketing communications to public company communications for global fortune 500 companies. My area of expertise is international marketing communications, educational content, and published documents. I've edited internal and external communications and global product descriptions that originated from non-native English origins.

 

There are many aspects to effective copyediting, including an unbiased understanding of grammar and efficiency of word usage. However, this alone will not create effective communications.

 

My chief concerns as a copyeditor are the requirements and standards of the client, the client's preferred style, and the overall communication within the edited copy, adhering to the classic 4 Cs of clarity, coherency, consistency, and correctness. However, my client’s need for a clear and well-communicated publication is paramount. Style, voice, and objective is at the core of everything that is edited, written, or proofed.

 

I am available for light, medium, and heavy copyediting, as well as proofreading. I also copywrite business communications, educational content, and product descriptions or customer communications translated into English.

 

Let me know how I can help you with your editing needs.
