You’ve put your heart and soul into your essay, application, autobiography—what have you. Now you want an outsider opinion or a fresh of set eyes to look for errors or to confirm that your story makes sense and is as compelling as possible. Or maybe all you have is your outline or perhaps just an idea? Let’s work together to bring your vision to life.
Copy Review
I offer three levels of copy review: line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, as outlined below. If you’re looking for help to get your ideas together, make an outline, and collaborate through to the final product, let’s talk!
—How It Works—
.01
PREP
Once I have received your request, and before I jump into reviewing your work, it is helpful to get background on what you've set out to do with your writing. We'll connect to talk through all the details and context I need to be as helpful as possible.
.02
EDIT
I request your copy be shared via a Google Doc file. From this platform, I will make all the obvious changes (grammar errors, spelling mistakes, etc.). I will also make suggestions to help improve readability, identify missing details, and highlight opportunities to enhance your piece.
.03
FOLLOW-UP
After I have reviewed your work and sent suggestions, we will jump on a call to talk through any recommendations or edits that you would like further details.

“One of the most difficult things about conveying passion is putting clear, definitive language to enthusiastic feelings. Erin is the answer to this problem. She turned my wordy rough draft into a thoughtfully told story. She edited my work with professionalism and care, never losing sight of the bigger picture. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their content and breathe colorful life into their copy. You’ll wish you found her long ago.”
