My name is Lindsay Schmid, and I have been writing, editing, and proofreading for over ten years. Additionally, I have:

  • Training in the Chicago Manual of Style from University of Chicago.

  • Projects successfully edited and published for print, epub, academic journals, and Fortune 500 companies. 

  • Expertise in developmental editing and helping creators share the message they intend.

I love working with clients who are excited about their work and have a clear vision of the impact they want to leave on readers. For those interested, I am happy to offer a free consultation so that we can get to know one another better before collaborating. My goal with every client is a positive, communicative experience that results in the best quality writing possible.
