Articulate Inks Editing

Hello, my name is Athena Smales.

“My high-quality editing and writing targets and eliminates problems that hinder how you present yourself to the world.”

Writing is hard work, and self-editing can be tedious. After writing and revising, none of us catch every mistake because we are too close to our work. You might be tempted to turn to colleagues, friends, or even AI for editing help, but I have the education and experience within the publishing industry to ensure you connect with your target audience. I have the skill to help you achieve the effect you’re looking for.

Typos, grammar errors, and punctuation mistakes only scratch the surface of writing problems that could cause you to lose credibility with your readers. Lack of clarity, faulty organization, or the wrong tone for your audience may prompt them to disengage. I deal with those common errors and go beyond the basics by addressing the flow of ideas, consistency, correctness, and clarity. I can ensure your message is clear, concise, and cohesive while remaining true to your unique style and voice.

I know how to elevate your work to a perfected, professional level. Not only do I identify trouble spots, but I will collaborate with you (with kindness and encouragment) to make knowledgeable improvements in your writing that you can feel good about. My goal is to support you through the revision process. 

It would be my pleasure to be part of your team, share in your goals, promote your vision, and ensure your words resonate with your readers.
