The best compliment a ghostwriter can receive is an Author's confirmation that the writing truly captured his/her voice. I achieve this by putting myself in the Author's shoes, understanding as much about the client, the subject, and the target audience as possible. The client's success becomes my success.
An up-and-coming author told me recently: "Hello LP - Thank you for your diligent work. I appreciate your giftedness with words and speed meeting what I'm asking for."
Every client receives my undivided attention. My quotes may not be the lowest, but as my mother taught me early in life: "If you buy cheap, you buy expensive".
Most writing jobs include editing with three revisions, which brings me to copyediting.
If an eagle-eyed editor is whom you're after, look no further. I love language and obsess over its correct use. Why? Because language defines not only meaning but also the person using the language. I won't bore you with technical grammar details here. Suffice to say: Editing jobs are great fun.
To me, spotting ambiguous sentences, spelling errors, word repetitions and all the other gremlins that wiggle themselves into our writings, comes naturally. Making a good thing better is my talent. Adding value to your product is my mission.
Oh yes, proofreading. It differs from copyediting. It's the last sanity check before the publishing time. A proofreader bears a great responsibility. Hire someone you trust!
I also provide voice over talent and audio book reading services. Request a sample of my voice to hear what I can do for you. I promise, I'll beat even the most sophisticated computer voice.
