| Web Copy |
"A skilled editor is an essential part of effective content creation," says Web usability guru Jakob Nielsen. Your site needs succinct, lively, and well-organized copy to attract and hold a reader's interest. Concise headlines, scannable layouts, and consistent typography are just a few guidelines for readability. For digital text, I put my editorial savvy and Web training to work for you, improving the organization, flow, and readability of your text. I'll rework your company's existing copy into Web-friendly prose that's informative and compelling. I can also create your site's style guide and editorial procedures. Plus, I'll spot the typos before your visitors do. |

| To stand out from the crowd, both your print and online resumes need to be lean, powerful, and scanner-friendly. I'll take your outdated resume and upgrade it to a simple, versatile format that highlights your skills, experiences, and talents. If you'd like a quote, send me your current resume and we'll go from there! |
Melissa is one of our
preferred freelance vendors, whether she's providing copyediting
or proofreading services. She is intelligent, upbeat, flexible,
and proactive. On several projects, she caught errors in consistency
and style that were missed by the author and publisher, and her
queries were valid and tactfully worded.
On top of all this, Melissa will do everything she can to meet unusually tight schedules—in fact, she often improves upon the deadlines we assign. —Kerry Beeaker |
