When you're working with an editor (or really, with anyone on a professional level), communication is paramount! Everyone is different, and it's not a burden to adjust. The more communication, the better the client relationship. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

I firmly believe that, in an industry that's nearly 100% self-taught, the best way to learn is to ask others. So what would you like to know next season? Don't be shy, I'm not! 😂 #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

We are back with all-new episodes this summer! Want to know more about what's going on in the author industry from indie authors hustling to make it work? Set your reminders early for the first episode going LIVE this Tuesday! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

I have learned that all authors are different, not only in what they write, but also in what they need. #ProofPositiveAuthorService #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

The real question you should be asking is what an editor can offer you. Are they doing the work for you, or are you learning to never make the same mistakes twice? Do they "get" who you are as a writer? #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Sun's out ... pens out? I find that summer is one of the busiest times as an editor (apart from the first of the year when everyone makes their resolutions to write a book). Tell me, what are your plans? #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting What are your plans for this summer?

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Bonus points if you yawned while reading this! 😂 One of my favorite things is getting so into a read that you start copying the characters. A wink. A half-smile. A yawn! Anyone else? #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

To me, professionalism means wide-open communication, and it starts before I crack open your document. I don't believe it's possible to learn if you don't understand, and if you don't get something, that's on me to help! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

I know many of you have heard horror stories of scammers, but it's no different than any other site nowadays. You plug in what you're looking for, check out the ratings, and trust your gut if things don't feel right. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

This client's order came through just a week or so before I was set to go on vacation. I reached out to them frequently during the process, keeping them in the loop as to how things were going. Communication is key! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

No matter which way you slice it, writing is a personal journey. You're putting your soul on paper and trusting someone to be kind with it. That's not always the case, and that's why I do what I do. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

010

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Indie publishing is a wild world where you can, quite literally, be up for sale on sites within hours. As you start opening yourself up to feedback, eventually, you start to wonder if an editor can further your piece as well. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading #copyediting

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

When you read someone's work, it's a glimpse into their soul, and how beautiful is that? Scared to reach out and ask about the editing process? DM me! I'm very chatty and not scary at all. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

010

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

One of the things that I love most about editing is, ultimately, the collaboration I get to experience when working with authors. I'm not driving, I'm a passenger with a map and a suggestion of a route to take. Where you go is up to you! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

But not just any tip, folks! I want the down and dirty nitty-gritty! No vague suggestions, such as thinking positively and giving marketing a try! I want to know one thing that moved the needle for you as an author. Aaaaannnnddddd GO! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

001

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

It's important to ask this of yourself, as the information it yields is invaluable. Crushing it? Sounds like you hit upon something that works for you! So far on track? Progress! Haven't started? Ooohhh, this is a good one! Let's dig in! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Authors who suffer from impostor syndrome are the dreamers who picked up a book and were inspired to write their own stories. Then, one day, someone picked up their book and became inspired, too. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

I'm on Fiverr, which is where I find many terrific clients, and get my terrific reviews. I know it's scary to reach out to someone and hope they won't scam you. Never be afraid to ask questions! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

If an author, in a character's dialogue, says, "X happened, and we don't support that," it comes across vastly different from "X happened to me as a child, and it shaped my beliefs." It's all about understanding. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

I want you to know, there is no straight line to publishing a book, and no author's journey is like anyone else's. But despite it being frustrating, this is entirely normal. Embrace the chaos, and when you need help, reach out! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

I opened my doors in response to authors receiving critical, unkind, and cruel feedback. Knowing there was no excuse for a keyboard warrior's verbal diarrhea, I modeled my business on kind, constructive, and actionable feedback. #copyediting #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

I want you to know, Dallas, I know, and I see you! 😉 Every client who books with me is invited to be a guest on my podcast, Positive Vibes. Interested to know what all the fuss is about? Season 6 will be here before you know it! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

I can always tell when the year turns over because there's an uptick in inquiries and orders. I love it! While authors write all year long, nothing gets people to snap to attention more than the inspiring possibilities of a blank year-canvas. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

January is always filled with promise and hope for the next twelve months, but not everyone has a plan to get there. Are you going to make 2026 your year to become a published author? Let's make it happen! Drop me a DM with no obligation. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

These authors inspire me. Every. Single. Day. I predict in a few years we are going to snap from dark times into a cultural revival. Remember the glamour of old Hollywood after WWII? Get ready authors ... your time is coming!

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Please note that English is the only language I speak fluently. But that's why I am contacted with translation-style requests. In these cases, authors have works in English they ask for help on (expressions, nuances, etc.). #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

When you book a read with me, we work together to elevate your piece, and you are in the driver's seat the entire time! I will always offer my opinion, but that does not obligate you to take it in any way. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

My clients get a line-by-line read of their manuscript. I use my own eyeballs, not AI. I catch typos, plot holes, and little grammar errors. I also ask questions in the comments when something strikes me during the story. #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

This is one of my favorite parts about my job. Yes, I'm looking for typos, grammar errors, plot holes, etc. But when that plot twist hits? Oh... there's nothing better! Is 2026 the year you're going to write your book? It won't write itself! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Years ago, when I began this business, I realized how unfortunately rare it was for authors to receive constructive feedback with actionable suggestions, all in a positive manner. Remember, it's only a month or so to the new year! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

000

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

How many of you are participating in this 30-day writing challenge? If you haven't had any luck putting together your novel this year, why not take a leap of faith and see if this is a good fit? You know where I'll be when you're done! #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Proof Positive Author Services @proofpositive.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

I take a team approach when I'm editing and utilize track changes. This way, you can make an informed choice on every dash, dot, comma, typo, and plot point I mention. Questions? Comments? Hit me up in a DM! I love to chat. 😃 #ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
