11-7-10 I am about to take The Big Leap and launch my new business. I am in the process of developing my website. It should be up and running soon. I’m ready to begin seeking clients who need help with what they have written.

My early education provided me with a sound grounding in spelling, phonics, grammar, and other facets of the English language. I grew up having a great respect for books (instilled by my parents), and for the well-written word.

I’m certain the need is out there. Daily, when I am online, I frequently find misspellings and/or poor grammar. Somehow, these errors seem to just jump off the page for me! It makes me crazy.

Consequently, I have decided to open a proofreading/copyediting business. I know I can make many articles better. My goal is to be able to have enough regular clients that I will be able to “quit my day job” and work from home. I am beginning to collect testimonials from those for whom I have already worked. Things are rolling. It is scary, but it’s exciting, too!
