Work with Me
Are you interested in working with me? Here’s how to get started.
​
Step 1. Schedule a complimentary, no-obligation consult. You can do that right here.
​
Step 2. Watch your email for questions from me. Before we hop on the phone, I’d like to know a bit about you and what you’d like to get out of our call.
​
Step 3. Hit “reply” to that email and answer the questions.
​
Step 4. At the scheduled time of your consult, we’ll consult! We’ll use the opportunity to make sure we’re the perfect fit before you commit.
​
Step 5. Then we’ll get started! If you decide to work with me, I’ll tell you the exact steps for getting started. If you decide not to work with me or if we aren’t a perfect fit, I’m happy to share other resources to help you get what you need.

Copyediting
Copyediting requires deep knowledge of grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, word length, etc. It's the literal "correcting" stage. It's a great opportunity to provide feedback such as if the reader is able to follow the story without distraction. Copyeditors make sure the manuscript is logical and the readability flows well. This is typically where individual publishing company provide their own style sheets or use the Chicago Manual of Style and/or the Christian Writer's Manual of Style.

Proofreading
Simply put, proofreaders catch spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. This is the final stage of the editorial process, after a manuscript has been corrected by a copy editor. Outside of page numbering, headers and footers, consistency with table of contents, a proofreader is ensuring that any web links go to the right webpage, checking biblical references, etc. Proofreading is not the time to revise, rewrite or delete because the interior page designer is up next.
