To provide every client with a timely and cost-effective finished
product that is second to none and far better than it has to be—one
that will assure me of repeat business.
I'm a freelance copy writer,
copy editor, proofreader,
and ghostwriter, primarily serving
small businesses and authors of fiction and nonfiction books, but I enjoy helping writers at
any level of need (people like you). My company is celebrating fifteen
years in 2016 as ACE Copyediting.com. I have been the copy editor for two
print magazines, one
online "magazine," several small businesses in both the United
States and foreign countries, and have many repeat clients,
including attorneys, physicians, scientists, small business
owners/managers, and writers of blogs and website content.
I'm a published novelist and a ghostwriter of
many books and articles.
I know about the importance of an
effective query letter, a dazzling synopsis, proper formatting,
first-page hooks, and
nearly-perfect grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
I know the ins and outs of the current trade publishing world, e-book
services, and self-publication through POD and Indie publishers,
Amazon's CreateSpace print book and ebook Kindle Direct Publishing
services, and others.
I'm a certified paralegal.
I know about corporate law, civil
litigation, real estate law, legal research, wills, probate, family
law, and demonstrative evidence. I can effectively turn
"legalese" into easily understood English.
I'm a former teacher of English and speech.
I have a solid
background in the rules of grammar, proper punctuation and formal writing. I
don't "guess" or go by what "sounds better." I go by the
rule book of your choice, including the Chicago Manual of Style, MLA
Handbook, AP Stylebook and others.
I'm a former executive assistant to the officers of a medical
information corporation in the Silicon Valley (purchased in a merger). I
performed extensive
writing, rewriting and copyediting of every type of business document, including
software manuals, employee manuals, brochures, websites, business
plans, and business correspondence. I know the needs of small businesses
or large corporations and
what works best and why.
I'm a former executive assistant/office manager
to the officers of a
start-up high-tech corporation in the Silicon Valley (purchased by AT&T). I set up and wrote the documents for
twenty-eight file systems, including those for human resources (HR), Board of
Directors, investors and employee files. I know how a business is
run and how the "players" interact with each other.
I'm a former small business owner and rental property owner.
I
understand wholesale and retail sales, contracts, effective
advertising and company documents, employee and client relationships
and
the nitty-gritty of what makes a company successful and valued. I can effectively
write or edit your company's documents including employee evaluations,
website material and blogs. Or, I can ghostwrite effective
articles published under your name in your industry journals.
I'm a goal-setter. I continuously set new goals and work hard to achieve them.
I'm an activist.
I
enjoy new challenges, like learning the facts about major social media tools
(i.e., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and Pinterest) that have
become required marketing programs for every business and every author,
and why the quality of personalized customer service and relationships
can rapidly influence future success :(or failure).
I'm a consummate professional.
I don't take any client or any project lightly or for granted. I give
nothing but my best.
I'm a quality writer and copy editor.
I will help you achieve a more satisfying personal success by
carefully and expertly copyediting, critiquing or ghostwriting your work.
So . . .
