Editing
Fees are based on four edit types:
Light (proofing/proofreading)
- Appropriate for a document that has already been copyedited and is in its final form.
Medium (copyediting) - Appropriate for
a document that has not been copyedited. This type of edit includes any rephrasing that's necessary to convey the writer's
meaning more clearly.
Heavy - Appropriate for a document that has not been reviewed by an editor at any stage.
Rewriting
- Appropriate for a document that needs extensive reorganizing and rewriting. Stephanie Doyle was a "go to"
person in the newspaper industry for her rewriting skills.
Press Releases
With the sheer glut of information available to the media today, press releases
have a high mortality rate. Not all press releases have to be that way.
With fifteen years experience in the newspaper
business -- including daily bombardment of press releases -- Stephanie Doyle knows what the media wants. She makes
writing a press release an art form, presenting information concisely and attractively enough for a journalist to
pick it out from a stack of papers. A good press release must be credible and well written, presenting the strong points
of its arguments without overtly seeming to sell its premise. Doyle knows the value and the key elements of a well-written
press release, and most importantly, has a deep understanding of news value.
Newsletters
