Editing Services

Shelly is an experienced editor with a good eye for detail and a great command of the English language. She's edited manuscripts translated into English, manuals and documentation from a variety of industries, marketing materials, and even fiction.

Shelly's editing services include more than just catching simple spelling and grammatical errors. She automatically edits for correct word usage, awkward sentence structure, and basic flow in all editing jobs. If requested, she will edit to specific guidelines or word count limitations. She can also make suggestions for streamlining and tightening the manuscript to improve the overall flow and presentation of the materials.

The pricing for editing is done on a per hour rate, but for some projects a flat fee can be negotiated.



“Writers search their memories for a better word to use in a given context but are no more in the habit of questioning language than of questioning the weather.”
- - Stuart Chase, The Tyranny of Words, 1938
