About Me
Officially an editor since 2016 (but my experience ranges back over 30 years), I love engaging with the projects I work on, diving headfirst into the story. I've always had an affinity for language and literature, even becoming a lifelong writer.
Having met some personal and professional goals I've had in my back pocket for decades, now I'm basking in exclusive literature and acquainting myself with like-minded new clientele. For some of whom, I've proofread their first novel. The personal relationship built with my clients is the icing on the cake.
"Holly Watson Proofreading and Copy Editing provided editing services on my graduate school college essay, done in mere days instead of weeks. With Holly Watson's help, I was accepted into the graduate program. Was it her editing that did it? I mean, there's no tangible way of ever measuring it, but Holly's prompt, professional, and proficient work definitely contributed. If you're mulling over whether Holly will bend over backwards for your writing project, fret no more, Holly's got your back."

I have been writing for years, my own projects as well as those I’ve completed for private and corporate clients. I even had my own indie book publishing company for a time. In spite of all this experience, I remain sloppy. I have been hunting for the perfect proofreader forever, and finally I’ve found her. In the course of proofing my soon-to-be published novel, Holly Watson caught all my double articles and pronouns, all the places where I used two words instead of the compound word that was called for, all my unnecessary commas, all my misspelled words (including characters' names), all my extra spaces between words and sentences, and even—miraculously, because they aren’t visible to my eye—the extra spaces I made at the end of paragraphs, and so much more! I recommend her highly.
