Professional, dependable and excellent at coaching to help new writers improve their grammar, and seasoned writers rise to the next level.

Diana carefully edited and proofed the last two editions of our 100-pg lifestyle magazine called 954 (www.954mag.com). The magazine is published in print and digital format in the spring and fall. The deadline is tight, and her attention to detail in a timely manner helped us produce a quality product we are proud to distribute in our community. I highly recommend Diana, and we are happy to have her as a member of our "team."

Stuart -- Thanks for the opportunity! I was impressed with the magazine's fascinating articles, and it was gratifying to iron out the little glitches I found. Our next issue's editing should go even more smoothly thanks to the technical learning I've achieved since the spring.

This is to inform you of the quality of work Dianna Matthews performed for the Carolina Master Chorale. One of our most important yearly mailings is the package we mail our patrons with our annual brochure. We used Dianna to proof read this important package. She was spot on with attention to details. Her proof reading skills were excellent. She is beyond a doubt the very best proofreader I have ever experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend Dianna Matthews for any of your proof reading projects. Helen Andrews, Executive Director Carolina Master Chorale

And I would not hesitate to recommend the Carolina Master Chorale. The CMC folks know a thing or two about quality performance if anyone does. Best wishes for another terrific season, and get in touch when you're ready to start on playbills.

Diana Matthews is a wonderful proofreader/editor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She not only corrected the punctuation and grammar in my book, she caught inconsistencies, repetitions and clumsy sentences, offering suggestions throughout to make it better. I look forward to using her brilliant skills and sage advice on my next project.

Thank you very much for the encouraging words, Birute. You've written a terrific book, and I look forward to seeing your next one. Sincerely, Diana

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In May I attended a proofreading conference, where I received instruction about the publishing world, copyright issues, and some software tricks I didn't know before. My degree is in Spanish, and I have years of experience as a teacher in the classroom and out of it.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Having always been a grammar curmudgeon, I finally found a way to use my powers for good.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Give it a try. We can negotiate if you want to send a partial manuscript and pay in installments, so there is less risk.
