I look at content to make sure your readers understand what you are saying. I might need to change, add or delete some words to make your thoughts clearer. I follow the rules based on the Chicago Manual of Style as well as many other resources.
I use MS Word with the Track Changes option. This places red lines over the words I change and will show the newly entered corrections. When you receive the proofread version, you merely select Accept Changes for the modifications to become permanent.
Diana LIffengren has been proofreading and editing for over 30 years. It has become second nature to her and she confesses she proofreads everything. Her goal is to catch anything that would hinder her customers' written communication and the ideas and thoughts they wish to convey. Every project is unique and crafted according to her customer's personality, subject matter, prospective audience and, most importantly, the customer's budget. You no longer need to feel intimidated or embarrassed about spelling, grammar, punctuation or vocabulary. Your finished project will reflect Finesse!
I love what I do. I am obsessed with making you look professional and credible. You may have a beautifully designed document, but if it has typos and misspelled words, it can turn the reader off. It can affect your income as well as your reputation. I will create a recipe for success by using the right ingredients in your writing. I never shy away from a challenge. If you want anything from serious to whimsical, your wish is my command.
My strongest point is my ability to convey your message in a way that reflects the essence and message of the writer.

"Since engaging Dianas expertise in proofreading and editing, I feel so much more confident in the work I do for my clients and my own business. Her attention to detail and the excellence she demonstrates is worth it. She literally makes me look good to the world on behalf of my clients and my business. She is the best investment I have made since I started my business over six years ago. "

"Diana Liffengren of Finesse Proofreading & Editing Services edited my book, Transition 120, and I was very pleased with the professional results. At well over 400 pages, Transition 120 is pretty lengthy and I was impressed with the level of detail that Diana covered in addition to the line edit including checking the accuracy of the reference details and scriptures quoted. It's never advisable for an author to rely solely on their own editorial skills when preparing their work for publication. With a quality service like Finesse Proofreading & Editing, I thankfully have someone to rely on."
~Paula Holland, Elyon Media Group website coming soon
"I have found that Diana demonstrates excellence in all that she does. I was amazed at her attention to detail. She made the content of my book look very professional. I also appreciated her integrity in how she interacts with me about my projects. I see Diana as a trusted consultant for all my collateral."
