You need clear, concise, and correct content for your digital presence.
Or you want to write a non-fiction book–and maybe you’ve even started–but you’re having trouble getting your thoughts organized.
Perhaps writing isn’t your primary focus, but you must do a good job of it in order to accomplish your main tasks.
Or maybe you’re a non-native speaker and writer of English. (And by the way, здесь говорят по-русски.)
You’ve come to the right place! Keep reading below to learn how professional editing can help get it all done.
I focus on non-fiction, with these areas of emphasis–but they are by no means all-inclusive. Give me a call or drop me a line, and let’s talk about your needs.
Editing isn’t just for books. Every aspect of your online presence – social media posts, blog entries, website content – can benefit from professional editing to maximize its impact. Click the Read More button to find out how to get a FREE sample edit!
Writing in a language which you do not speak as a native presents its own special challenges. I have years of experience working with non-native writers of English and with editing texts translated from other languages. And я говорю по-русски.

I decided to name my business Tight Prose because it is my passion: clear, concise, elegant writing that wastes no time making its point.
Believe it or not, I learned this skill during many years of service in the federal government. You must get your message across quickly and clearly for busy senior executives and policy makers; they don’t have time to struggle with deciphering ambiguities.
After retiring from that world, I learned that everyone is busy these days, no matter the business. Customers are much more likely to respond to, and act upon, well-crafted messages that quickly give them the information they need.
In addition to my own freelance business, I have also been editing and writing for a hypnosis training organization for the past twelve years, everything from email newsletters to conference proposals to full-length books.
Even if you’re not primarily a writer, let me help you make your writing the best it can be!
