ABOUT
ME
I'm Matthesa, a trained line and copyeditor, a lover of words, and child of God.
My Story
"Everything you need to know about life can be found in a book!" This is something that I've said many times to myself and others and I've found it to be true throughout my life. Combining my love of reading, the English language, and strong attention to detail seemed like a natural fit to start an editorial service business.
Admittedly, I cringe when I see one too many errors in written content and I think to myself, did this person get an editor or proofreader?! This is where I come in! I call myself the "friendly editor" because editing for me is more than just wielding a red pen. In addition to delivering editorial services, I provide encouragement and open communication to my clients. Presenting polished text is critical in helping establish the personal brand of a self-published Christian author or Christian entrepreneur and this is my primary reason for doing what I do.
