FAQs

Q: Who runs My Blog Editor?
A: My Blog Editor is owned and operated by me, Darcy De Leon. I’ve been editing website and blog post content for the last 16 years (the past nine years as a freelance content editor and corporate proofreader and, before that, six years as editor of an online publication in the corporate communications department of a nationally ranked hospital).

I’ve been writing and editing a total of 31 years in various industries (including newspapers, city government, cybersecurity, nonprofit and oil and gas).

Q: How is content edited?
A: I edit blog post and website text for clarity, consistency, accuracy, intent, grammar, spelling, punctuation, flow, Associated Press style and client writing style guidelines.

I also edit text for the web: I make sure content is concise, so it’s easy to read (scan) and understand.

If you tend to write a lot, that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll suggest deleting content. If the copy is compelling, I’ll leave the length and edit so that readers stay engaged and keep reading.

I also edit for search engine optimization and can repurpose blog posts so you get the most out of your content.

Q: How will I know what changes have been made?
A: I’ll show you my edits using one of three formats:

  • Microsoft Word documents (edits appear in Track Changes).
  • Google Documents (Suggested edits shown).
  • PDFs (edits shown with Adobe Acrobat Pro editing tools).

I will give you explanations for my edits so that you:

  • Understand the reasons for the corrections.
  • Learn something you might not have known.
  • Know how to use the information to establish a more detailed set of writing style guidelines for your business content.

My constant goal is to maintain your voice and make you look good.

Q: How often would I use a blog editor?
A: As little or as much as you need. See the options on the Services and Pricing page.
