Ensure your writing is the best it can be.
Ensure your writing is the best it can be.
You write to connect with your readers, to tell them a story or clearly explain something. Spell checkers and grammar checkers take you only so far before the intricacies of the English language throw them a curveball. A copyeditor can catch incorrect idioms, straighten out tangled phrasing, and ensure the continuity of your document. It’s my job to help you avoid embarrassing mistakes.
Hello There!
I'm Cyndi and I live in Upstate South Carolina. I’m a voracious reader and I love words. You know those people who want to learn about everything? Yeah, that’s me! I’ve had careers ranging from graphic design to crime lab analysis to wildlife rehabilitation to medical transcription.
My hobbies include riding horses, watercolor painting, and watching NFL football, and I’ve even tried basket weaving and beekeeping. I bring this varied background to my copyediting career.
Do you have a short story or novel that needs a professional eye? Short and sweet or long and detailed, new or experienced writer, I can help you make sure your message is clearly understood by your readers. I’m committed to making my clients look good.
Testimonials
"One of the most professional and thorough editors I have used! Excellent work. I am so happy with my final product." - Bryan T.
"Thank you so much for your feedback! Worth much more than your fee! I will definitely be back with more stories for you to edit. I love your idea about the ending. I was seriously hoping someone would step in with a brilliant idea! You have inspired me." Jill B.
"Cyndi is an excellent transcriptionist! She's transcribed hundreds of files for us. Difficult audio, thick accents, multiple speakers, technical terminology, you name it. Whatever the audio/video content may be, Cyndi does a great job. One of the best!" Steve M.
“Cyndi is extremely detail oriented, which makes her the perfect proofreader. After working with her a short time, I knew that I did not have to second guess or re-proof her work and that has saved me a lot of time! Cyndi doesn’t hesitate to ask clarifying questions or offer suggestions for improvement.” Sheila G.
"You did an amazing job and pretty much overnight, though I gave you far more time for the deadline. I also appreciated the savvy questions you asked before we started, so your delivered manuscript was just what I needed." Wendy M.
