Hone the jargon

Many subject matter experts struggle to convey their knowledge into logical written form. These intelligent beings, often walking encyclopedias of high-tech jargon, lack the ability to transpose their brilliance into fluid format. The results can be ugly—but there's good news. As your editor, I can polish your words and structure your documents so that your targeted audience will read your material with pleasure.

Editing

Pain-free editing

If you need an editor but fear the grammar snob or word meanie, have no fear, Bookworm is here! I promise to be kind to your content while maintaining your style.

You are too close to your work

Editing your own work can be tricky. What is in the author’s mind isn’t necessarily what is in print. That is, when you proofread your work, you “see” information that isn't there because your mind projects it onto the page. An objective observer is best able to note lapses and inconsistency.

Making it work

Whether your coursework, training materials, or technical manuals need fine-tuning, I can help. I have experience as a production editor and as a technical editor and have worked on projects as small as quick-reference guides to two-volume manuals. I've edited:

• courses in print form
• online courses (e-learning)
• technical manuals and workbooks
• user manuals
