Okay, so you have this great restaurant. A stupendous chef. This incredible menu of wonderful, mouth-watering food. You are poised to hit it big on the restaurant scene.

There's only one problem: I bet your menu describes all sorts of exotic foods from all kinds of exotic places, prepared in some pretty cool ways. I bet that even if you personally come from some wonderful and exotic place, you are not a trained proofreader and editor.

That's where content consulting comes in. Deborah is a food person, and a lover and student of languages. She will make sure that the content of your menu lives up to the content of your kitchen and front-of-house. She will make sure that you don't say "with au jus" when that's really not what you mean. She will make sure that your accents are all pointing in the right directions. She will check that your wine list is in good order.

The Menu: Proofreading services include review for spelling, usage and consistency and digital or hard-copy mark-up of corrections. Well, it's easiest to call it proofreading, but it's more like proofreading/ fact-checking/editing. It's really worth it.

The Website: Drafting and editing of your website copy is something you just might need. Deborah has a lot of words at her disposal, so she can help you find les mots justes, if you're a bit tongue-tied.

The Message: Proofreading and editing services--copy editing, stylistic editing, substantive editing--are available for all sorts of copy. That article you're writing for a trade magazine. The ad you're running in the paper. Other promotional materials. Your novel!

Turnaround is as short as you need it to be, within certain practical constraints. I know, you might need it "yesterday" but, surprisingly, Deborah has no control of the time-space continuum, and has to draw the line somewhere.
