Corporate incentives white paper edit

I was asked to refresh this white paper, primarily to make sure we didn't have any out-of-date language or statistics present. I found some opportunities to tighten the language a bit as well.

Packaging copy edit

Knowing a little French comes in handy sometimes! But, I've also proofed copy in German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese. You would be surprised at what you can catch just by paying close attention.

Proofing samples

Having started my career as a proofreader working for a typesetting and printing company, I developed a keen eye for typographic errors. Extra spaces after periods, messy ragging and kerning, punctuation that isn't hung -- these are all things that add up to create a messy, unprofessional look, even to an untrained eye. Errors like this leap off the page at me, and I will always point them out. Don't want to have your AD spend time making these kinds of small edits? Have them send the art file to me and I will take care of it in minutes.
