ABOUT ME |
I'm Cara, and I want your copy to stand out for all the right reasons.
Between social media, blogs, notifications, and articles, people are reading more words than ever. But not everyone is taking the time to fix their mistakes, and that is making their copy stand out for all the wrong reasons. I can help you tighten up your copy and eliminate errors, so that readers remember the content, not the glaring mistakes. You'd be surprised how easy it is to read past incorrect versions of a word, doubles (the the), and the like. But that's what a proofreader can help you catch. I worked at magazines and newspapers for several years as both a writer and a copy editor, so I am very familiar with AP style. And I recently completed the Proofread Anywhere course, which is a rigorous grammar refresher focusing on the Chicago Manual of Style. I have experience creating websites, marketing materials, and social media posts, so I can help you with all kinds of publications, from a few words to hundreds of pages. If you would like to talk about how I can help you with your next project, please get in touch. My bio, the short version: I live in St. Paul, Minnesota with my husband, Mike, two kids, and a very old dog. I love DIY projects, teaching crafts, cooking, and getting outside. |
