Copyediting

Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

I am seeking help with reformatting my 4 page resume.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an existing, 4 page resume, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a cover letter to better describe my work experience, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $945 , allowing us to use our Communications team to focus on more pressing issues.

I'm often asked to speak on a panel and am asked to provide a bio. To participate in leadership development programs, I have to provide an updated resume that reflects my current and previous work.

Megan very thoughtfully reformatted my resume and created a short bio to be used when I'm invited for speaking engagements and panel appearances. She was easy to work with and completed the project quickly and with ease. Thank you, Megan, for sharing your gifts with the Catchafire world.

Denise is a joy to work with. She had a specific vision for her resume and was responsive and kind to work with. I recommend working with her and St. David's Foundation.
