If your writing isn’t landing, there’s a reason.
A sentence can be grammatically correct and still feel awkward. A chapter can contain all the right information and still lose momentum. A website can say exactly what it means and somehow still miss the point.
The challenge isn’t always fixing the writing. Often, it’s figuring out what’s actually getting in the way.
That’s the kind of thing I love untangling.
Editorial Services
I offer focused editing for both practical and creative writing, including:
- Literary and creative writing
- Website pages and online content
- Blog posts and articles
- Essays and academic papers
- Serialized and long-form narratives
- Canon-compliant manuscripts
Because each piece of writing has a different goal, editing ranges from light proofreading and copyediting to deeper analysis and feedback.
Most work begins at a minimum fee of $75. Projects are quoted based on word count, project scope, and turnaround time. Flat-rate options are available for website and blog QA services.
Proofreading
Final-pass review for grammar, punctuation, spelling, formatting, consistency, and readability.
Web & Blog QA
Link verification, formatting checks, proofreading web copy, consistency review, and pre-publish QA.
Copyediting
Sentence structure, awkward phrasing, repetition, transitions, tone consistency, and readability improvements.
Editorial Analysis
Structural feedback, pacing analysis, thematic cohesion, scene effectiveness, and revision guidance.
About Artemis
Lori Swanson | Founder & Editor
I’m a published poet, a member of the Northwest Editors Guild, a former content manager, and an avid reader. I spend a lot of time thinking about why certain pieces linger with us and why others don’t.
That same curiosity shapes the way I edit. Whether I’m working with a business document or a piece of fiction, I’m interested in the same thing: helping the writing accomplish what it’s trying to accomplish.
That’s the approach I bring to every project.
