Copy for Websites Feature and News StoriesFreelance writing piece for thekitchen.com.
Don’t let a copy mistake cost you readers or customers. Just as a typo in a novel immediately pulls you out of the story, a mistake in your writing throws your credibility into question. It’s a costly price to pay after working hard to distill information and present it in a way that informs, persuades, or entertains.
Luckily, copy mistakes are easy to avoid when you hire an editor. After a 25+ year career in journalism and marketing communications, I’ve turned my focus to copyediting and proofreading. When you hire me you get an expert editor/writer and a strategist who understands the “why” behind the words.
From entire websites to product guides to magazine articles, I’ve written and edited it all. I’m quick, but meticulous and thorough, with excellent time and project management skills and a deep respect for deadlines. My goal is to present your words in the clearest, most consistent way, enabling your message or story to come across cleanly, while maintaining your voice.
As for the Oxford comma—I personally like it, but don’t hold that against me; I’m willing to work with your preference.
