What it entails
Copy Editing
You already have words: a draft, an old site, a deck that is almost there. I take what you have and make it clearer, shorter and more persuasive, without losing your voice.
I read as your customer would, so I cut the lines that slow them down and tighten the ones that matter. I cut what drags, sharpen what sings, and flag every claim that needs proof.
Editing isn't fixing typos. It's deciding what each sentence is for — then making it do that job.
The result is copy that reads cleanly, says one thing at a time and gives the reader a reason to act.
What's included
Three levels of edit, one flat quote.
Structural edit
Reordering, cutting and reframing so the argument lands in the right sequence.
Line editing
Sentence-level sharpening for rhythm, clarity and persuasive force.
Proofreading
Grammar, spelling, punctuation and consistency — the final safety net.
Fact & claim flags
Every unproven claim highlighted with a note on what evidence it needs.
A/B variants
Alternate headlines and CTAs for your highest-traffic pages, ready to test.
Style notes
A one-page guide capturing the decisions made, so future copy stays consistent.

Copy editing questions.
Proofreading catches surface errors. Editing reshapes structure and sentences for clarity and persuasion. My projects include all three passes, in that order.
Yes. I study your existing material first and flag anywhere your draft drifts from it. If you have no defined voice, the style notes become its first draft.
Google Docs, Word, Notion exports or plain text. For staged websites, I edit against the live URLs and deliver a prioritized change list.
A flat quote per project based on word count and edit depth — confirmed before I start, never hourly, never a surprise.
