Editing

In my twenty-year career in the publishing business, I have edited millions of published words, on topics ranging from audio engineering to accounting, from songwriting to surgery.

Careful editing of your copy will

• strengthen the impact of your marketing
• establish and enhance your professional appearance
• help you attract and keep customers

Editing is a range of tasks, from the broadest concerns (Should we include a chapter on room acoustics? Is this explanation of arteriosclerosis too simplistic?) to the very smallest (Should "west" be capitalized? Does "self improvement" need a hyphen?). Between those two ends of the spectrum lie a multitude of questions and decisions about matters of logic, clarity, and tone.

Every good editor is abreast of current standards in usage and grammar. The best editors combine that technical knowledge with a strong feel for effective communication drawn from years of wide reading and careful thinking about how good writing works.
