Hello from Atlanta, GA and welcome to my profile! For over 30 years, I have had a passion for the printed page and finding ways to improve upon the quality and efficiency of numerous forms and documents. My passion is reflected in the quality of my work. I go above and beyond in satisfying my client's needs and wants, to produce a result that exceeds expectations. An added bonus is I am fluent in Spanish, so I am able to offer my clients typing and translation services in that language as well.
For most people typing is a tedious task, so what I enjoy most about my work is that I am doing something I personally love while relieving a great burden off the shoulders of my client. I realize that as a result of my services, my client may be a parent who now has more time for their family, or they may be a business owner who can now run their business more efficiently. It gives me great satisfaction to contribute in some small way to making that difference in peoples' work and home life. As I like to say, I'm "making life easier, one page at a time."

Christine was wonderful to work with. We had a large retype job which she accomplished in a very timely and professional manner. Her skill is excellent and we would not hesitate to recommend Skewed Straight.

Christine was great to work with. She went above and beyond by cleaning up my document in areas I didn’t even ask to be cleaned up. She delivered a great product and I would use her again. She is also very professional and responsive.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Christine on a project that seemed nearly impossible: restoring our association’s declaration and bylaws from a poorly scanned, barely legible old PDF. The original document was in terrible shape, but Christine worked her magic and transformed it into a beautifully formatted, fully editable Word document. She not only preserved the integrity of the content but also retained all original drawings and attachments with incredible accuracy and attention to detail.
Christine’s professionalism, responsiveness, and skill made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. She exceeded our expectations in every way. We are beyond grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone needing meticulous and high-quality document restoration.
Thank you, Christine—you are a lifesaver!

Skewed Straight is more than just a professional typing service. Christine was able to retype some of my documents, but also convert PDF files that had so many old text boxes added to them over the years that I couldn't even get started converting them to other formats. She is super easy to work with and needs very little direction. Just give her a project , explain what you need the end product to look like, and she'll do the rest. If I need anymore documents done, Christine is my go to!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Since the complexity of the typing projects that I tackle varies greatly, I've found that working by the hour is most effective. My current hourly rate is $30/hour. I aim to be flexible in my pricing, taking into account my client's budget, and I am also open to price-matching my competitors.
I am always honest and reasonable in my pricing, and at times I've given "freebies". I may not always be the lowest quote, but one thing I can assure you is that you will always get quality service and satisfaction.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Communication is key! I ask my client to explain their needs and wants in great detail, and I will follow up with questions for clarification to ensure I have a clear image of what they are envisioning. Once the first draft is complete, I will send it to my client, typically in PDF format, for their review. I invite them to give me feedback and let me know if they want any revisions made. Once their document is just right, I will send them the finalized version in an editable format for their use.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For over 25 years I have had the pleasure of working in the office setting. The environments varied, but one thing was constant: antiquated, cumbersome, illegible forms and documents were the norm. One day, I decided to take the initiative to tackle the illegible invoices, appalling applications, and pitiful policies and procedures everyone complained about. That is when I discovered my passion for making the old, new - the sloppy, professional - and the skewed, straight! (That's how my business name was born!)
