 "Carlee served as the proofreader for my book and I couldn't be happier with her work. In addition to superb technical expertise, she provided timely turnarounds with a wonderful 'bedside manner.' Incredibly pleasant, she was a true partner in the process and helping me keep the final changes in my voice."

 What does ēmendātum mean? 
  Pronounciation: eh·men·da·toom ​

 1. a Latin word meaning amended, improved, or corrected 

 

 These are the goals of editing, but I chose a non-English word because I strive to be inclusive of people whose first language is not English. I speak Spanish and a bit of Chinese, if that is helpful to you!

About

The editor, Carlee, at Whirlpool State Park.

Hello, I'm Carlee!

I'm a professional editor. 

I have a B.A. in journalism and minors in cultural anthropology and Spanish from The Ohio State University. I have nine years of experience in writing and editing for newspapers, publishing houses and businesses. 

Besides a love for language and grammar, my reason for founding ēmendātum was to help others toward their dreams. Helping perfect your passion projects, research papers and proposals so that you feel confident to publish and share your words with the world is why I do what I do. I cannot wait to meet you! 

 

I will gently and constructively guide your work toward excellence and provide you with feedback that will help you hone your craft. I understand that it can be difficult to allow someone to read your work, critique it and change words you labored over, but I will maintain your unique voice and quirks in my edits.
