April Michelle Davis on the Write Editing

April Michelle Davis was featured on the Write Editing by Andrea Merrell and Alycia Moraleson Monday, February 24, 2020. April Michelle is a professional editor as well as indexer and proofreader. Typos and mistakes in writings are inappropriate and unnecessary and stand out to her like a sore thumb. These types of errors are similar to a pandemic in the writing industry yet there is a cure: the copyeditor.

Publications are not realizing the value of the copyeditor, how the copyeditor preserves its credibility and bottom line, the almighty dollar. You, as the purchaser and reader of publications, are being put in the position to doubt the words you are reading when you come across an error and to judge the information’s validly and not be allowed the luxury of basking in the beauty of the article. Highway robbery!
