PLEASE NOTE: one-hour, Instant-Book time slots are ONLY for asynchronous proofreading and editing services on documents that are 1,000 words or less. Please reach out directly to schedule a time for longer documents.

Hey friends, I currently only offer asynchronous proofreading, editing, formatting, and feedback services on already-written work. I do not currently offer synchronous online or in-person lessons.

I specialize in creative, academic, business, and ESL proofreading and accept most document formats. I use Track Changes in Microsoft Word and Google Docs, providing both a tracked copy and a clean copy of all completed documents. I can work with tight timelines and will always get your document back to you as soon as possible.

Throughout my career, I have successfully edited nearly one million words. Recently, I completed the ACES Certificate in Editing and the Knowadays Becoming a Proofreader course. Additionally, my journalism degree and subsequent work experience with local newspapers allowed me to hone my proofreading and copy-editing skills. I currently work as a contract proofreader, editor, and formatter (InDesign and Word) for Proofed. I also own and operate my own small publishing company, Pursuit Press.

I graduated from Saint Cloud State University with a bachelor's degree in print journalism and French and a master's in creative writing and publishing from Western Colorado University.

However, my love of language started in high school when I took my first Spanish class. Shortly after that, I started German in college, then Mandarin at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, and Arabic and French at the University of Toronto. Studying these languages with vastly different grammar structures allowed me to understand English more intimately.

For every document, I ensure my feedback is practical and straightforward yet grounded in kindness and empathy. Writing anything can be daunting and overwhelming, and I am here to make the process as painless as possible.

Reviews

She was amazing

My son needed help writing a paper for English lit. She reviewed what he had already done prior to meeting with him and had a terrific demeanor while working with him. He was so resistant prior to the session but she won him over in minutes. I highly recommend!

Amazing Essay Editor!

My daughter needed help editing some supplemental personal statements, and Emilie was beyond helpful! Emilie's communication is always so timely, and the turnaround of her asynchronous edits amazingly fast. Her suggestions and feedback are always very clear, helpful and made for stronger essays. We look forward to working with Emilie again, as she is so supportive and helps my daughter feel more confident in her writing.

Nice and relatable!

Emilie taught me that there are relatable approaches to get kids to open up. In a short period of time, Emilie is able to connect with our kids and figure out how to do work without them knowing!

Knowledgeable, patient, and friendly

Emily taught me the fundamental aspects of writing. If there was something I didn't understand she was thorough in explaining the topic until it was clear. She also went above and beyond when it came to making sure my essay was perfect by working on it after our essay was done. She worked diligently to be sure grammar and punctuation were perfect.
