The editorial service that speaks for you and to you.
Hi, I'm Ryan Hilliard. I offer my seven-plus years of editorial experience to you so that you can get exactly what you want from the words you choose.
I have worked with publishers, organizations and clients in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and more. From academic monographs to weekly e-newsletters and everything in between, I will ensure that your readers read what you truly mean.
Areas of Service
Copy-Editing (Long & Short-Form)
Choosing the right words is a challenge for everyone, and writing them out can be just as hard. That's where I come in, to make sure your message comes across in your words, no matter how many or how few it takes.
non-profit development
There are myriad ways to ask for money and support. Asking the right way requires finesse, confidence in your objective, and empathy. Relating to your donors and volunteers is a profoundly personal process. Let me help you get the support you need in the way your donors expect.
Academia
Academic lexicon is "specialized" which is just a fancy word for "WTH does this mean?" With my knowledge of APA, MLA and Chicago Manual, your dissertation won't get lost in translation.
proofreading
I don't want you to be that person who still spells "definitely" with an 'A'. Poor spelling, overlooked grammar mistakes, and formatting issues can definitely make or break your content. My four eyes will clean up the little things that make up a big part of your writing.
Social MEDIA
It's important that your lasting digital footprint has clean, optimized and searchable language. I can craft your content and SEO to demonstrate consistency across the board. The internet remembers all, and it's not as forgiving as I am.
Ideas That are HArd To Put Into Words
Creative writing is still an ever-evolving and frightening field where "thinking outside of the box" means thinking outside of yourself. My holistic approach can help you develop your piece to truly reflect your process of climbing out.
