O. Marie Dosier

O. Marie Dosier – Editor

Meticulous editor and proofreader with experience working with both new and established authors. Specializing in genre romance.

Overview

As a seasoned copyeditor and proofreader, I have a passion for crafting message architecture that empowers authors and entrepreneurs to connect with their audiences both online and offline, ensuring their communication is consistent and relevant. After taking a personal leave in 2022, I am now accepting new clients and excited about the opportunity to help more authors achieve their publishing goals.

With over 20 years of experience in writing, editing, and proofreading for independent publishing companies, media outlets, marketing campaigns, and production companies, I bring a wealth of expertise to every writing project.

If it's written, I can help! From first drafts to final revisions, I am committed to delivering high-quality editorial and proofreading services for authors and content creators who want to produce clear, concise, and compelling content.

My editing style is conversational and collaborative. I offer suggestions for rewrites, ask many questions, and focus on maintaining the author’s voice. I take detailed notes to pinpoint inconsistencies and ensure accuracy. Think of me as that slightly annoying but well-meaning friend who always corrects your grammar, dedicated to making your writing the best it can be.
