Professional Proofreading and Editing Service
You spend hours creating your website. You may tell yourself, “I don’t need a proofreading service, I can do it myself. Besides, I have a grammar-check on my word processor."
But here's the thing. Your writing says a lot about you. Rather than trying to convince you, I am going to tell you a story. One of my favorite television shows while growing up was The Cosby Show. I was a child of the '80s, so I spent many nights listening to the wisdom of Bill Cosby. On one episode, one of Bill’s daughter surprised the family with a sudden engagement to a man they have never met. To explain his disappointment, Bill made an excellent analogy. Bill told the man to imagine a thick juicy steak with delicious mushrooms and potatoes and described it in a way to make my mouth water. In not so many words, he said to the new arrival, “I’m going to present it to you, alright? I don’t get a plate, but I walk over and get a garbage can lid and put your delicious steak, mushrooms and potatoes on it and give it to you.” Not too appetizing is it? It’s in the presentation. No matter how great or flashy your website is, if the content isn’t written professionally or has grammatical errors, it is like a steak being served on the lid of a garbage can. I may be overstressing here a bit, but you get the idea. IF THIS BUSINESS HAS A NEGATIVE... It’s that generating the original content is something that you need to do. There are no shortcuts here. Who knows your business better than you? Probably no one. What you give us doesn’t have to be perfect; it doesn’t even have to be grammatically correct. That is what we are here for. A PROBLEM.... As much as we love proofreading and editing content, if we are to be able to continue to do so, we must charge for the service. Although we could charge much more (many other services do) we are only charging $7.50 a page. We are not in the business to get rich; in fact, I am sure that the benefits you receive from a service like ours will far outweigh the small cost you invest. If you do not end up using our service, that’s fine, just please have someone who is an expert look over your content. If your content has any affect whatsoever on your income, you owe it to yourself to make it as professional as it can be.
