Don't know an en dash from an end zone?
Think Chicago style is a kind of pizza?
I've got you covered.
As a former English teacher with a graduate degree in Renaissance literature, I know great writing is as much about the details as the big picture. Whatever draft you're on, I'll help you refine your writing and solidify your story.
Here's what author Naomi Harris Rosenblatt recently said: "Dara Kaye is an extremely talented, capable proofreader. I found her a pleasure to work with, and will be sure to ask for her services for my next book."
From copyediting for Big Five publishers and juggernauts like Amazon to helping first-time authors tackle structure and story arc, I help clients carve out a unique space for their work—and polish it till it shines.
