As a new writer, I came to Commas, Quotes & Colons for an experienced set of eyes on my piece of fiction. Dana did a great job both editing and proofreading my piece. She was very capable in finding and changing all grammar mistakes for those of us not experienced in the Chicago Manual of Style. I was pleased with the editing suggestions, as they were thought out and did not detract from the overall style of the piece. I will definitely come back to Dana with future projects.

Whether it’s fact or fiction, being error-free is critical. But your voice is most important. When I proofread or edit, I make sure that I don’t alter your literary personality.

It’ll be your words, only better.
