Janet Dimond

Profile

The author’s voice should prevail, not mine. With over 25 years' experience, I catch things on levels others may miss. I look for more than spelling and grammar, having edited everything from long manuscripts to short articles and websites on many difficult subjects for clients all over North America. Several of the books I have worked on have won writing awards.

Writing is a tool to get a point across. I can help take you from rough manuscript to published material. Easy to work with, I offer positive, concrete solutions at reasonable rates. I am also a professional member of The Word Guild.

One of my clients wrote, "A keen sensitivity to error, a comprehensive knowledge base, as well as a much-appreciated ability to relate to context. I knew I was working with someone who had extremely sharp editing skills."
