"I just wrote it! Now I gotta read it? Ugh..."
Well...not necessarily. One Typo at a Time (OTAT) offers high-quality proofreading/copyediting services to harried business people, stressed-out students, overwhelmed housewives, etc.--people who write a lot of "stuff" but don't have the time or energy to read it over and over again--dotting those "i's," crossing those "t's." What a pain! Wouldn't you rather go to happy hour or play with your kids?
Who needs proofreading/copyediting?
People who want to maintain a professional image, of themselves and/or their business, need proofreading/copyediting. A second pair of eyes (and a little impartiality) is always good to have when completing a project for publication--and that's where OTAT comes in. I have a terrific, but humble, eye and ear for what looks and sounds good and a great deal of respect for the English language. So, I have made it a personal goal (to the best of my ability) to promote the awareness of good grammar and its positive effects on a business' (or anyone's) professional image. Incorrect spelling and faulty grammar can seriously undermine the impact of documents or Web sites and, therefore, reflect negatively on the person using them; without a doubt, the right or wrong words make or break engagements, friendships, romantic interludes, and even political alliances. Effective communication is essential to achieving respect and success, and using the right words correctly brings clarity...and power. Be a part of the editorial revolution, and strive for grammatical greatness!
