About
At Proof Positive Papers, I help you communicate with clarity and confidence. You receive personal, attentive support, and every document is reviewed by hand to ensure your message is polished, consistent, and effective. With a background in English literature and nearly two decades of experience, I’ve worked with hundreds of businesses, publishers, and authors—editing everything from brief letters to full-length novels and complex textbooks with the same level of care. My pricing is straightforward: $0.0175 per word (a 10,000‑word document is $175). I offer Thumbtack clients a free one‑ to two‑page sample edit so you can see how we'll collaborate.

Cindy was amazing to work with! I felt comfortable handing my book over to her to review and edit. I didn't realize how nervous I was at first, but she never pressured me and was a delight to work with. I highly recommend working with Cindy for your editing needs. I look forward to working with her in the future!
