Business Editing Packages
If your written communication is sloppy, unclear, or full of errors, you’re losing potential clients.
Your words—whether on your website, in your emails, or in printed material—communicate your value, quality, and commitment to excellence. So if your copy is confusing, weak, or riddled with mistakes, your potential clients are going to question your competence and overall ability to deliver the goods.
You + Me = A Powerhouse Team
The solution? Hire me. As a precise, professional editor, I’ll make sure every word, sentence and paragraph is clear, convincing, error-free, and perfectly targeted to reach and resonate with your ideal audience.
Whether your copy is technical, instructional, promotional or even fanciful, I have the chameleon-like ability to slip into the voice and style of whatever text I’m working on and turn it into a concise, letter-perfect message that powerfully communicates the personality and professionalism of your business or organization.
Working with me gives you peace of mind.
For over a decade, I’ve been providing copyediting and proofreading services to companies such as Sony, Honda, Intel, Amgen, Gooding & Co., JB Consulting, and many more. I’ve also copyedited over 50 manuscripts for Ylva Publishing, Cambridge University Press, and Palgrave MacMillan.
When you work with me, you can rest assured that all of your written communications represent the superior quality and unique value of your products and services.
Ready to see me in action? Submit any piece of copy up to 500 words to alissa@redpenforrent.com and I’ll show you what I can do.
Note: This is a one-time trial. Limit one per client.

I’ve contracted with Alissa to edit all my business’s content before we send it off to clients for over a year now. I play a little game with myself every time I send her a document. I’ll go over it first and then send it off thinking, “maybe THIS one won’t have any errors.” But you know … every time it comes back, she’s found something. And I’m SO grateful to correct it.
She is solid gold to me as a business owner: not only does she work magic on my team’s copy, ensuring that it’s rock solid, but she does it FAST. She’s responsive, responsible, and detail-oriented. AND even more, she gives me peace of mind because I KNOW that what I send out to my clients is perfect when it goes through her first.
Try her services out and see for yourself! Her rates are great, and her work is even better.
Although, I only had the pleasure of working with and supervising Alissa McGowan for a few years; within that short timeframe, she was one of the best wordsmiths I’ve come across in a great while and I’ve been in the fast-paced, cutthroat, deadline-driven print-production industry for over a decade.
Alissa was one of my top well-rounded and diligent proofreaders. She was dependable in every respect and was my go-to proofreader for most heavy-text jobs, which included pharma and many additional complex projects, because she was so well-organized, fast and thorough. When copyediting was needed, Alissa being well-read and a master of English grammar was entrusted to copyedit and occasionally rewrite pieces of text for our clients; and she did this with ease and professionalism, always keeping in mind my instructions as well as the desires of our clients.
It’s just easy to work with Alissa. I trust her to do the job; but more so, I trust her to do the jobs I requested well.
FAQ
What is your turnaround time?
It depends on the nature and complexity of the project. My monthly retainer clients get top priority, and I am usually able to meet whatever deadline you require, although I will not compromise quality to do it. Also note that rush fees will be added if you need something turned around after hours or on a weekend.
I don't know which package is right for me. How much is 2500 words, anyway?
Think of it this way:
- A typical blog post or newsletter is about 500 words
- A standard social media post runs around 150–250 words
- An average website ranges 2,000–5,000 words
- A detailed job description runs about 500 words
- A cover letter is usually around 250 words
- An internal report might run around 5,000 words
If you’re not sure how many words you’ll need, start smaller. You can always upgrade later!
What happens if I need more words before the month is over?
No problem! As long as you are under contract, you can borrow on the next month (up to 20% of your total words). If you continually exceed your monthly allotment, you will need to upgrade to a larger package.
What if I don't use all of my words before the end of the month? Do I lose them?
Nope! As long as you are under contract, you can roll over up to 20% of your total words to the next month (e.g., 500 words on the 2500-word package).
