Copy Concepts Editing
Precision Copyediting by Lori McDonald
Your Writing Deserves a Great Copyeditor
If you are sending your project out into the world without the benefit of a professional check for typographical errors and other problems, you are taking a risk. A big risk. Your reputation is at stake. Errors and typos can cost you money, lose business, and damage your reputation. Experienced writers, ad creators, website owners – content creators of all kinds depend on expert copyeditors and realize that the expense is minimal relative to the possible damage. Whether you are well-established, or just starting out, you need professional copyediting. Your writing deserves it, and so do you.
Hi! I’m Lori McDonald
I want to help you deliver flawless copy to your audience. Whatever your project – from a full-blown novel, a non-fiction book, your blog, or your business website – I will apply my expert copyediting talents to make your presentation as perfect as it can be.
My Services
I offer a wide range of services because I know that every project is different.
But even though your project is different from everyone else’s project, most copyediting projects need one or more of the three basic services shown below. (Of course I am open to discussing any variations you may have in mind.)
Copyediting
A thorough review of your project. I check every word, every bit of punctuation, the grammar, the syntax. All this while maintaining your writing style and voice.
Proofreading
You’re almost ready to launch, but you need one more professional review to catch any and all of those last-minute errors that will ruin all your hard work.
Copyediting/Proofreading Bundle
When I do both of these important steps at the same time, you get the best results, and you get significant cost savings. Best results and lower price.
Why wait? Contact me now for a FREE discovery call and price estimate.
During our free, no-obligation, discovery call, be sure to ask how to get your free 1,000-word sample proof. We can also discuss any details of your project, talk about a timeline, and prices. Let’s get started!
I Will Edit Just About Anything Except for…
I’m happy to edit books (fiction and non-fiction), magazine articles, Christian content, blog posts, website content, children’s books, advertising copy, even your text created by artificial intelligence. But please…no erotica or sexual content, no excessive profanity, no racist content, no horror or occult content.
Words for Writers
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Worried About AI?
These days, many copyeditors are using AI (Artificial Intelligence) to do their editing because (for them) it’s a big time-saver. They do less work and still charge their clients full price. But AI makes mistakes and can leave a big mess behind. If you’re worried about that, you can relax – because no AI will ever touch your work here at Copy Concepts Editing. I don’t trust AI, and I don’t use it. All edits here are done by a human – me. But if you are using AI in your writing, it’s OK. I will be happy to copyedit your AI-created writing and will straighten out all the problems for you.
More Than ‘Just Copyediting’
I know that handing your project over to a copyeditor (or just about anyone else) is not easy. But I want you to know that I will take the utmost care of your creation. I will treat every word with respect and will help you understand the reasoning behind edits I make to improve your content – while maintaining your unique voice and writing style.
Actually, I’m Not Giving Out Free Samples of Cupcakes Today
But, even better than a cupcake, is my offer of a free, no-obligation sample of my copyediting. Just send me approximately 1,000 words from your book or other project, and I will apply my expert copyediting skills to your text to give you an idea of how I will improve your chances of publication, make more sales, and get better reviews for your project.
