Writing and Editing

Clean, accurate, and easy to read copy enhances your brand.
HOW I CAN HELP
​
I help businesses manage their content to manage their brand. The better the copy you submit, the less someone else will have to edit it.
​
Many business owners don't know where to start with writing or only need services periodically. With Fifth & Park, they can use my services on an ad hoc or retainer basis.
Fifth & Park offers various writing services: freelance writing, editing, special features, advertorials, copy writing, speeches, emcee scripts, features, bios, blogging, web content, media releases, newsletters, and more.
Editing includes checking for grammar, substantive editing, line editing, consistency of voice, accuracy, and overall readability.
Canadian Press (CP) style is used in conjunction with Associated Press (AP) style; Canadian spellings are used unless otherwise requested.
