FREELANCE COPY EDITOR

julianneclark.me

I sharpen and shape manuscripts, website content, articles, marketing materials, and more—all while allowing the copy to retain the voice of the writer or brand. I am extremely thoughtful, precise, and fastidious. (Let's be honest: I'm a total perfectionist.)

My goal as an editor is to focus and polish your work by eliminating errors and querying any issues. I'm here to help you put your best copy forward without losing that which makes your writing unique. I edit for grammatical and punctuation errors, style and usage issues, spelling mistakes, typos, factual errors, and inconsistencies or awkwardness of formatting or language.
