Your Words,

COPYediting | Proofreading

You’ve written something important. Does it say what you really mean?

 

When your writing isn’t as clear as your ideas, opportunities can slip away.

That’s where I can help.

I'm a copyeditor and proofreader for businesses, nonprofits, and creative professionals.

I take your writing and make it sharp, clear, and persuasive. Whether it's website copy, blog posts, business proposals, grant applications, or book manuscripts—your expertise deserves content that matches your professionalism.

Here’s what happens when we work together:

  • Your message becomes crystal clear (no more confused readers).

  • Errors are caught and corrected (no more typos in important documents).

  • Your authentic voice stays intact (just refined and polished).

  • You feel confident when you hit Send or Publish.

  • You get a partner who’s invested in helping your message come through clearly and confidently.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials

Lesley is brilliant with words and really knows wordsmithing and the English language. She has a keen eye to detail. She’s helped me with many of my marketing projects and made my writing even better. I highly recommend her.

Angel Drinkwine, Realtor, John L. Scott Real Estate

I have worked with Lesley as both a collaborator and a copy and script editor. She is meticulous in finding grammatical and spelling errors but also able to maintain the voice and style. Lesley takes the initiative to go above and beyond the expectations of the job.

– Tom Relth, retired teacher and practicing artist and filmmaker

I handed Lesley a tough assignment and she delivered—more than expected! She turned a highly technical one-hour video, filled with unfamiliar acronyms, into a concise document with shareable insights. Saved me valuable time and inspired me to explore other ways to engage The Write Polish in the future.

– Randy Rhodes, Technical Executive, EPRI

Lesley was very prompt in editing our website. She noted redundant comments and helped streamline what we were trying to convey. Her keen ability to read our website from a potential customer’s perspective and share those areas that were confusing or not clear made us realize we may be leaving potential customers with many questions.
