When getting it right really matters, I can help you

You’re done with writing! After you have spent hours, days, or weeks developing and writing your document, you can only see what you thought you wrote–not what you actually wrote.

However, errors in your technical, medical, scientific, and nonfiction documents could cost you money, time, and the loss of reputation. As a meticulous copyeditor, I would have caught these errors:

• The Mars Polar Lander crashed and burned because one team used English units (inches, feet, and pounds) while the other used metric units for a crucial operation (1999).
• A misplaced comma in a sales contract cost Lockheed Martin Corporation $70 million (1999).
• Spain had to seek US help with a new Spanish-designed submarine that was built weighing more than 70 tons too much because of a misplaced decimal point (2012).

I’m the word nerd who can help you improve your writing or the writing of your employees to reduce your chances of dramatic consequences such as these.
