Let me help you down your own writing path.
As a writer, I am also a reader and a lover of all things "word." If you are interested in my help with content editing, please contact me to discuss your project and rates. I love being that fresh set of eyes to look at a piece and see the areas that need a little sanding. Note: I do not enjoy/do copy editing. There are other, much more meticulous folks, for that.
