Greetings, and welcome! I'm Dana, your vulpine wordsmith friend.
First off, a brief introduction. I have a BA in History and English, and many years of experience in academic-level writing, along with editing a wide variety of document types for friends, from automotive blogs to a draft novels and short stories. I love to write, learn about writing, and help others improve their writing, all of which form the foundation of what I aim to offer here. I want to help you with your essays, stories, letters, emails; any written work you'd like a kindly second set of eyes to reexamine. Simply share it with me, and specify what you'd like me to focus on in reviewing your work: grammar, word choice, general organization, all of those, or just a basic once-over, and I'll revise and comment accordingly.
I fully expect this to be a two-way learning experience. Hopefully, we'll both come away having learned a little something new each time. I look forward to working with you.
A few ground requests and terms of service:
-For basic proofreading, I charge $1 per double-spaced Times New Roman page. For detailed grammatical, organizational, and content editing and margin advice, I charge $2 per page. If you have multiple documents of similar lengths that you'd like me to look at, I'm happy to cover the first one for free. Payment via Paypal only, please. Depending on the length of the piece, and my personal schedule, I'll do my best to get back to you within a day or two at most.
-If you have a Google account, I'd ideally prefer you upload and share documents with me via Google Docs, for maximum ease of access, editing, and commenting. If that isn't possible, emailing me an MS Word document also works.
