Melissa Mc Laughlin

I eliminate errors from academic papers, books, educational materials, and web content, using the skills I developed while doing content development for test prep publications and proofreading my spouse’s work through a PhD and several book publications. I'm a native U.S. English speaker and am adept with the Chicago Manual of Style, though I'm accustomed to absorbing any required style guide.

Here's what I provide for your writing:

• corrections for spelling, punctuation, and capitalization errors
• fixes for subject-verb and pronoun agreement issues
• selection of the correct word among commonly confused words (there/their/they’re)
• consistent application of formatting style

I've also helped students improve their writing skills in my four years as a high school teacher and five years as a test prep instructor. I'm passionate about improving educational materials and scholarly works and helping independent writers with eBooks and web content.
