More about Me
About IntelliZan
Your insight, your voice, your quality—assured.

As a copyeditor, I review your work to make sure it says what you mean. A close reading of your beta version can identify typos, inconsistencies, or ambiguities, distractions to your audience's easy understanding. As an indexer, I create an accurate map for your reader to find and retrieve the information they need.

Please contact me to discuss how I can help your project.

Testimonials

Thank you for your invaluable work on this project—everything you touch is better for it!

Wonderful work, as always!

Wow, thank you! Under-promise and over-deliver—#IntelliZan!

You once again did such a superb job. You handled a gruesome and heart-breaking subject with grace and compassion—and it really showed.

Your review is extremely helpful—the time you spent on the website (and, of course, your copyediting expertise, editorial mindset, and your brain in general) is so valuable because you pointed out some obvious-yet-not-obvious-to-us things! You've also helped us revisit the big picture with regard to the types of things we should (and should not) assume are prior knowledge.

THANK YOU for your attention and diligence, you are our saving grace.

Thank you for your consistently high-quality writing!

Your submissions were always the ones that the client would rave about. In fact, you inspired their editor to re-read several texts because your submissions were just so inspiring and insightful.
