Welcome to Adirondack Editing!
After you’ve been staring at your book for months, if not years, and you’ve revised and rewritten as needed. You can’t look at it another time without going cross-eyed, and even if you did, you probably wouldn’t even see potential errors. You’re all set to send it off to your readers—you think.
That’s where Adirondack Editing comes in.
Eagle-eyed editors to the rescue!
A computer program can’t determine the context of your words:
-
“Joan, just put the glass down over <there, their, or they’re?>.”
-
Dave showed his buddies the 24-<caret, karet, carat, or carrot?> ring he bought.
-
The elephant glared at the car as it followed <it’s or its?> calf.
-
“I’ll be right there, Mom! As soon as I’ve <passed or past?> this level!”
-
Orlo loved being a movie inspector, strolling down the <aisle, I’ll, or isle?> in his new uniform.
-
See the <peek, peak, or pique?> of that mountain over there?
