About
When getting it right really matters, I can help you
Good writing really matters. Errors in your technical, medical, scientific, and nonfiction documents could cost you money, time, and the loss of your reputation. As a meticulous copy editor, I would have caught all of the following 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 can help you improve your writing or the writing of your employees to reduce your chances of dramatic consequences such as those I just mentioned.
