Editing
I am a devout adherent to the Chicago Manual of Style, which is the best style guide out there and the preeminent choice for academic and book-length works. I hold multiple editing certifications and am nearing completion of several more.
And while most editors only consider common style and usage errors, I make your manuscript as persuasive as possible through feedback on titling, word choice, rhetorical strategies, sentence structure, style, tone, and much, much more.
I've edited:
📖 Books 📖
📜 Proposals 📜
📧 Professional Correspondence 📧
💼 Business Documents 💼
📝 Short-Form Articles 📝
♾️ Long-Form Articles ♾️
🌐 Web Content 🌐

I also edit résumés. An investment in your résumé today can serve as the keystone for your bridge to a better job, higher compensation, and/or a new career.
Do not underestimate how important this document can be! Research shows that you have just a matter of seconds to make an impression. I speak the language of recruiters and understand how to craft a résumé that will attract their attention.
My résumé revisions are centered on your professional goals and career aspirations. There are three steps in the process:
1. An initial phone call to learn more about you and what you're seeking
2. A top-to-bottom résumé revamp, which typically takes 1–3 hours
3. One final call covering my edits and suggestions
“In 2020 I had the pleasure of working with John and he did an incredible job. He was able to capture my skills, accomplishments and goals perfectly. He truly has a gift to translate jargon into an impactful resume and profile. He was always quick to respond, very professional, and I've referred everyone else I know needing his services to him and will continue to do so. Thank you John!”
