About

Senior Editor & Career Strategist | 25+ Years Experience (HBO, Lowe’s, Amazon Authors) In a world of fast content, a single error can damage your credibility. I am the "Eagle Eye" you need to protect your reputation and your brand voice. With over 25 years of experience, I have protected the editorial integrity of major corporate giants (HBO, Lowe's), ensured technical accuracy for industry publications (Structure Magazine), and helped independent authors transform raw manuscripts into flawless Amazon bestsellers. I specialize in two distinct areas: 1. Professional Editing & Proofreading Whether you are a business needing polished communications or an author preparing a 100,000-word memoir, I ensure your writing is clear, consistent, and error-free. My approach respects your unique voice while applying strict industry standards across the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), AP Style, and APA 7th Edition. 2. Resume & LinkedIn Optimization I don’t just "fix" resumes; I rebuild them to beat ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) and catch a recruiter's eye. As a career strategist, I ensure your professional story is concise, high-impact, and results-driven. The "Eagle Eye" Lab Standards (Please Read): To maintain the high-level precision my clients expect, I operate under the following professional standards: Software: I work exclusively in Microsoft Word (.docx) using Track Changes. This provides a transparent "paper trail" for every edit. I do not edit PDF files. The "Eagle Eye" Trial: For new manuscript leads, I offer a complimentary 1–2 page sample edit (max 500 words). This ensures our styles align before we commit to a full-scale project. Project Structure: For manuscripts over 20,000 words, I utilize a milestone-based payment schedule to ensure steady progress and clear communication. Total Confidentiality | Relentless Follow-Through | Authentic Collaboration I am your last line of defense against typos and weak structure. Let's make your writing shine.

Larice was great to work with. She was able to take about 2 years of work, and in the span of less than a week, it was edited grammatically and put in paragraps where needed, and then proofed. She took a personal interest in my booklet. I'm very grateful!

I am truly amazed at Larice's proficiency, professionalism, and punctuality. As a first-time author, I was dreading this part of the process. I thought that I would be going back and forth with an Editor trying to make sure that my voice was not altered or silenced, neither was. Maximum respect, Larice.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing reflects 25+ years of "Senior Editor" expertise. I provide publication-grade results, not "budget" proofreading. Manuscript & Document Editing: Proofreading Only ($0.026/word): A final "last line of defense" for grammar, spelling, and punctuation on clean, well-structured files. Copy Editing ($0.036/word): My most comprehensive service. Includes line editing for clarity, flow, and consistency while preserving your voice. Includes a final proofreading pass. Career Strategy & Resume Services: Flat-rate packages are available for Resumes, Cover Letters, and LinkedIn Optimization. Please message for a custom quote based on your career level. The "Eagle Eye" Policy: Large Projects: Milestone-based payments are required for manuscripts over 20,000 words. Rush Fees: Priority "Rush" services are available for an additional fee. Note: I work exclusively in Microsoft Word. Projects requiring PDF editing (if accepted) are subject to a significantly higher premium due to the manual complexity involved.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I operate a professional "Lab" environment with a clear, reliable paper trail: Initial Discussion: We define your project goals, intended audience, and absolute "must-have" deadline. File Review & Quote: To provide a fixed quote, I require an exact word count and a Microsoft Word (.docx) file. Please note: I do not edit PDFs. The "Eagle Eye" Trial: For new manuscript clients, I provide a complimentary 1–2 page sample edit (max 500 words). This ensures our editing styles align perfectly before we commit to the full-scale project. The Editing Phase: I meticulously refine your document using Track Changes in MS Word. This protects your creative control by showing you every single "red ink" refinement I make. Final Delivery: I deliver two versions of your completed project—a Tracked Changes version for your review and a Clean version ready for the next stage of your journey.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Beyond my degree, I have over 25 years of hands-on professional experience in corporate settings. I am highly proficient with industry-standard tools, specifically Microsoft Word with Track Changes for publication-grade editing and Google Workspace for collaborative projects. While I utilize Adobe Acrobat for document review, all substantive editing is performed in Word to ensure technical precision. I also leverage professional-grade tools like Grammarly Premium for consistency checks, allowing me to focus entirely on the nuanced flow and authorial voice that only a human expert can perfect. I excel at working with major style guides, including The Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS) and AP Style.
