Who I’ve edited for

How it works

Tracked changes in Google Docs showing AP style copyedits on a marketing blog post
  1. Email your first four pieces to editing@proofedandproven.com.
  2. I edit them to AP style (or your style guide) and send back tracked changes within two business days.
  3. You review the edits. If they fit, pick a monthly plan.

What this service doesn’t cover

This is copyediting and proofreading for drafts your team has already written. If a piece needs rewriting or restructuring, that’s a writing project, and I’ll quote it separately before I start.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between copyediting and proofreading?

Copyediting fixes grammar, style, consistency, and clarity while a draft can still change. Proofreading is the last check for typos, punctuation, and formatting before a piece publishes. This service covers both, so each piece gets a copyedit and a final proofread.

Can you follow our in-house style guide?

Yes. Send your style guide with your first pieces, and I’ll edit to it. I also work in AP, Chicago, APA, and AMA styles.

How fast is turnaround?

Two business days from when I receive a piece. I return tracked changes and comments in Google Docs or Word, whichever your team already uses.

What does the $450 trial include?

Four pieces of marketing content, up to 1,500 words each, copyedited and proofread in AP style or your style guide. You get tracked changes within two business days, and there’s no monthly commitment.

What kinds of content do you edit?

Blog posts, ads, web copy, case studies, client success stories, and white papers. My longest-running marketing client is Travelzoo, where I’ve copyedited travel copy for five years.
