Professional Copy Editing and Translation Service

I love my job. Really. You'll often find me annoying my friends and family, correcting their grammar and typos. I'm like that red pen-wielding teacher who marked up your papers in school.

But this has actually served me well when it comes to working as a copy editor. I can spot a "to" that ought to be a "too" from a mile away. Language, grammar, words, punctuation—these things are my passion.

Even good writing gets better with good editing and proofreading. It's easy to become too familiar with your own writing and miss the things that a reader with a fresh set of eyes would not. An editor can be a bit more ruthless about taking good text, paring and shaping it, and turning it into something great: something you, the writer, had in mind all along.

It's my job to make your documents clear, concise, correct, consistent and comprehensible. I will ensure that your text flows, that it is sensible and accurate. I will act as your first reader and I will ask you the kinds of questions you would expect a reader to ask. All of this will provide you with the best document, thesis, letter, resume, article, manuscript possible before it reaches your final audience.

Errors in translations of websites or important documents can give a bad impression and cost you time and money. Whether you need a translation of a website or an academic paper, I can assure that your message will not get lost in translation. I provide correct, professional translation of documents from Swedish to English.

Do you need a skilled copy editor? Contact me. I work quickly, I offer a thorough, high quality, copy editing service, and I'd be thrilled to hear from you.

Copy Editor

"I paid 3 editors to do the same job just to find out who I could really count on, and based on the work done by all, I was able to conclude that Jessica's editing is on a completely different level than anyone else's. She digs deep and understands what you want to say--then she helps you say it even better while maintaining your voice. And that is a very special talent. She's effective, affordable, and is the best investment for your money. Jessica, I owe you a great debt for making my manuscript soooo much better!"

"Jessica is one of those talented folks who has a skilled eye and detailed grammatical knowledge, but she's got more than that in her toolbox--Jessica is special. She has the ability to look at my writing and assist me in making it more than it could have ever been on its own. She catches grammatical mistakes, knows what can be done to make the language clearer and more readable, and then can see the big picture of what I'm trying to accomplish. When my work falls short of my vision she knows what questions to ask to help me realize what can be done to make my stories the best they can be. She's invaluable."
