Prepare yourself for the road.

At The Word Garage, we’re dedicated to helping you create the best copy possible for your article, book, memoir, brochure, website, press release — the written word in all its formats — hard copy and electronic. To that end, we can provide the following services:

Copy editing: Correcting copy for spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, usage, sentence structure, sentence length, paragraph length, consistency, style (AP, MLA, Chicago), fact-checking proper names, titles, facts and dates.

Line editing: Editing, correcting and rewriting copy for organization, structure, transitions, redundancy, jargon, awkward construction, excessive use of passive voice.

Proofreading: Final run-through on a manuscript to make sure all necessary changes have been made; final go-round for spelling, grammar, punctuation usage and style.
