Audrey will analyze whether or not the style of your written piece is suitable for the target audience. Perhaps a different "voice" would improve the material. Maybe your transitions are not clear. Your writing might be too dense, your sentences too long, or your paragraphs too short.
Audrey’s close analysis will enable your written pieces to be the best that they can be.

Your word processor’s spell check feature cannot pick up every mistake. And there’s nothing worse than sending out a written piece that is filled with avoidable errors. That can result in a significant loss of credibility and customers. For this reason, you can’t afford anything except perfection.
Audrey will make sure that every word is spelled correctly, and that your piece is perfect.
"Audrey Friedman Marcus is a topnotch editor, one of the best I have ever encountered. Slight punctuation and structural deficiencies never escape her critical eye."
