Proofreading and editing services
Welcome
Hello, I’m Alix. I have a background in proofreading and editing for fiction, nonfiction, marketing materials, and business writing. I am an avid reader with more than two decades of experience judging literary work, reading beta manuscripts, and assuring the quality of software. As a Certified Master Proofreader, I’ll apply AP Stylebook, APA Style, or CMOS rules—together with any custom requirements you have—to correct grammar, punctuation, formatting, and spelling errors. And, as a lifelong athlete, my attention to detail and dedication to process are second to none.
You’ve crafted your written work and want it to be the best possible reflection of you. I am ready and able to help you take it to the next level.
