ABOUT ME
Today's Christian businesses, nonprofits, and ministries face increasing challenges to communicate with their current and prospective audiences and supporters.
​
The way you provide information to your market is much different than companies that have a general audience.
​
You know that everything your organization does needs to reflect godly principles in all aspects, and all your efforts are to convey excellence.
​
For over 40 years, I have been writing, editing, and proofreading for the Christian audience in a variety of formats, including magazines, newspapers, websites, books, and various specialized projects.
​
I know the challenges and issues that leaders of Christian organizations face. You have a heavy workload while you try to keep juggling many balls. And your eyes are on your budget and deadlines all the time.
When I work with you and your team, you are getting someone who knows your audience and has the writing, proofreading, and editing skills to help you craft the ideal communication to your audience.
Whatever your needs may be, I will work with you to meet your goals and needs while keeping your budget requirements in mind.
Let's work together to reach the goals you have set for your organization. And, of course, doing our best to serve God and His church will always be the top priority for both of us.
SERVICES
I offer various services that cover a wide spectrum of publishing needs. Here are some of the ways I can help you:
​
Line Editing:
This includes working on a line-by-line basis, checking for clarity, style, tone, and flow.
​
Copyediting:
This level generally includes correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, and usage. Depending on the author's preference and the condition of the manuscript, a copyedit can be light, moderate, or heavy.
​
Proofreading:
This stage includes reviewing for typographical errors, misspelled/misused words, grammatical and punctuation problems, format issues, specialized terms, numerical and alphabetical sequences, and correct references to tables, figures, etc.
​
Writing:
I have 40 years of writing experience and have appeared in dozens of publications (both printed and online). Formats have included feature stories, blogs, newspaper reporting, reviews, editorials, devotionals, and other specialized projects.
