Two Birds Editing
Every book starts with a seed.
Whether rose or redwood,
I can help it grow.
We ensure that
your story has a
strong root system,
so it can grow hardy
and healthy. Story, character, tension, and pacing are addressed.
Softening rough edges—smoothing out sentences,
removing redundancy—
maximizes impact and vitality.
Thoughtful pruning promotes
robust flowering.
Now it's time to
pull the weeds:
correcting
spelling,
grammar,
and
punctuation.
