Oak Street Editorial

I'm Maggie, the editor and content specialist behind Oak Street Editorial. I can help you translate your ideas into clear writing, both in print and online. 




Substantive Editing

You need help with the organization, structure, and flow of your piece. You want to make sure your arguments resonate and that the writing is fit for your audience. Or, you've already received feedback from a bunch of people and you need help making sense of it all. A substantive edit is the most hands-on.

Copy Writing

You need help writing an annual report, email newsletter, brochure, or other materials. You have a basic idea of what you want to say but you need someone who can bring it to life. I can write something quickly that's perfect for your audience. 

Repurposing

You want to translate your 50-page report into something shorter, like a blog post, executive summary, or one-pager. I can do the consolidating for you, using your own words and turning them into pieces fit for different audiences.

Copy Editing & Proofreading

Your piece is set in terms of substance and organization, but it needs to be cleaned up for public consumption. I will correct grammar, spelling, and formatting errors, and make suggestions to tighten and improve sentences. I can also apply the style guide of your choice. 

Writing for the Web & SEO

You're supposed to start blogging or creating a website, but you're not sure how to write something that's "web-friendly" and optimized for search engines. I can take what you already have and make it readable for online audiences and Google. 

Production Coordination

I have experience working with designers, printers, and making edits directly in InDesign. I can help manage the publication process for you and catch any errors along the way.
