Basic Editing

Clean copy sells. Let me scrub yours today.

In the newspaper biz, here’s how copyediting works:

You write the article.
The copyeditor fixes it.
Then the article runs.
The writer can be amazed or enraged (sometimes both) by the results.
That’s my Basic Editing Service, with one difference: You get to see the edits (and approve them) before you publish.

How do you benefit?

You have total control over your message.
Even if you write something fast (and sloppy) — you know it will come out clean.
That’s because I’ll guarantee that every word you publish is spelled and used correctly.

Who uses the Basic Editing service?

  • Business owners who don’t want to talk about the proper use of serial commas.
  • Confident writers who want a second set of eyes before they put the word out.
  • Writers on a budget – a Basic Edit costs less than my Alpha Edit, but the result is the same: Your writing, the best it can be.
  • Busy people, period. You write, I fix, you publish.

How does it work?

You write the blog post, sales letter, or newsletter article.
Send it to me.
I check for continuity and clarity – are you saying what you mean to say?
I’ll catch typos and grammatical flaws.
If I don’t understand something, we’ll talk, and I’ll fix it.
You review the changes, and publish.

The Basic Editing Service helps you write (and post) blogs, newsletter articles, and sales emails with confidence.
