Thanks for stopping by! I’m Alison Ward, an accomplished professional freelance editor and proofreader with over 20 years of experience and clientele all over the world. As the work landscape shifts along with the economy, my main focus has become career-change resumes. I have an over 90% success rate in helping clients change fields!

I still edit books (with multiple award winners to my credit), and have experience editing a wide variety of nonfiction material, helping publish everything from journal articles to marketing material and internet copy. The nerdier, the better.

There is so much that an automated grammar check will miss. Human editors don’t miss typos like “public” and “pubic,” among others. Real editors proof better, and I’d love to discuss how I can help with your project.
