Writing a book, blog, or any other publication is a rewarding but very time-consuming job. The rules of writing are constantly changing as language evolves, therefore knowing when to use certain vernacular or dealing with sentence structure can be a challenge. Let us focus on those small details so you can spend more time on the big picture.

ABOUT ME
Charita Matthews, Chief Editor
Ever since my college days, people have sought my help regarding proofreading and editing documents such as: research papers, articles, blog posts, and more. Through constant practice during my educational career, I developed this skill to an expert level.
As an avid reader, I have a love and respect for the English language which causes me to mentally correct grammatical errors while reading books, blogs, articles, closed captions, street signs--even text messages and social media posts from friends & family. Although my loved ones may have found it annoying, I realized it was an opportunity to help authors put their best foot forward. Let me help you perfect your writing so you can focus on creating and publishing your bodies of work!
