Hello!

I’m Carla Lomax, and I’ve been a copy editor and proofreader for more than 15 years.

​​

I take pride in my work and strive always to deliver a quality product. I value not only grammar and punctuation but also

​​

  • Demonstrating professionalism

  • Using clear speech

  • Avoiding misunderstandings

  • Eliminating offensive or biased language

  • Accuracy

What do I do?

I bring a global perspective to my work as a copy editor and proofreader. I’ve studied several languages, and I've lived and traveled abroad. In today’s world, having multicultural knowledge and intercultural communication skills are the key to communicating to a diverse audience.
 
For more than ten years I've also taught English to nonnative speakers. Teaching English has taught me to recognize not only the complexities of the English language but also to notice the everyday clichés and jargon that often create confusion and misunderstanding even among native speakers. This knowledge is invaluable in my work as a copy editor and proofreader.

What does that mean for you and your project?
​​​​
Because I have a global perspective and a background in a variety of industries—theater, architecture, real estate, medicine, IT, law, engineering, agriculture, academia, health and wellness (I'm a certified yoga instructor.), and others—in addition to copy editing and teaching experience, I can recognize and help clients to clarify any areas that may be unclear or possibly offensive to their target audience. It also means I am familiar with most industry terminology and can quickly get up to speed, saving time and money for my clients.

Contact me to discuss your needs and find out how I can help you on your next project.
