Website: https://allthatediting.com/ Company Description: I will never tell you that your baby is ugly. I may, however, suggest a different outfit. While writing can be a solitary pursuit, editing is a collaboration, a partnership between the author and the editor. First-time authors are often reluctant to let me look at their work, afraid that it’s not good enough. Which is really what my job is, helping an author make their writing better. Regardless of the level of edit, I will read your story more than once. I read from start to finish while sitting on my hands. Then I go back, read it again, this time with an eye to improvement. Sometimes it’s a matter of incorrect spelling and punctuation, which means a quick turnaround and only two readings. Sometimes it’s a matter of shifting scenes around, sharpening dialogue, and throwing more conflict at the main character. If that’s the case, and a revision is needed, I will read the story a minimum of three times. Proofreading Word4Word Proofreading Phone: (973) 610-5574
