Proofing your writing so it’s positively spectacular!

You want your voice to rise above the crowd and be heard.

You want your audience to trust you and be confident that you know your stuff.

You want your message to make an impact in the lives of your audience.

You need flawlessly written content to confidently communicate your message in your voice to your audience, and Proof Positive VA can help make that happen.

Whether you need a final proofread on an otherwise finished product, a first-draft copyedit to smooth out the rough edges, or both, I will work with you to refine your writing so that your readers hear your voice and remember your message, not the mistakes!

Clarifying
Copyedit

If you finished writing but need to make sure it is readable and flows logically from one point to the next, then a clarifying copyedit is what you need to get it ready for the final proofread. Your writing will be thoroughly reviewed for:

  • Consistent style
  • Clear message or story
  • Holes in plot or logic
  • Smooth transitions from one thought to the next
  • Overall readability
Also included:
Up to two rounds of edits – one initial copyedit plus a second to edit minor revisions

About Me

Hi! I'm Randa,

and I have had my nose in a book for the past forty years. Whether my parents were reading to me, I was excited about spotting an error in the most recent The Baby-Sitters Club book, or I was at Walmart at midnight in the middle-of-nowhere Florida to buy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as soon as it was released, the written word has been part of my life since I can remember. Not only am I a reader, but I have also written my share of reports, essays, and even a few short stories. I participated in the Young Author's Conference during elementary school growing up in Indiana, I wrote my share of research papers and projects for both our high school and the Palm Beach Atlantic University honors program (where I studied marine biology), and I composed a plethora of essays while pursuing my Masters of Divinity at Asbury Theological Seminary. Now I get to use my passion for the written word to help others use their words to get their messages out into the world!
