There is nothing that drives me crazier than a fellow metaphysical person (tarot reader, reiki practitioner, magickal root worker, or otherwise) who has typos, poor grammar, or inconsistent wording on their website, business card, or promotional material.
NOTHING.
Even in the esoteric circles I run in, business is still business. Your cohesive message and branding is conveyed in both pictures and words. If those words have typos or loopholes someone could drive a clichéd Mack truck through, you end up looking like a flake or an amateur… neither of which I’d want to do business with.
What do I know about editing? Why am I so specific about working with metaphysical businesses to clean up their copy? I am a copy editor and a professional tarot reader. I am the editor of Jenna Matlin’s Have Tarot Will Travel. I am also a Witch and writer. In short, I have my feet in the worlds of both the practical and the metaphysical, but in my opinion, those worlds need not be divided. I know grammatical dos and don’ts, and I also ask questions of preference when editing someone else’s work (“Do you spell Magic with a K? Prefer uppercasing or lowercasing tarot as term?”).
When I do my job correctly, I become invisible to your clients, and you look like a polished gem.
I specialize in metaphysical topics, such as tarot, oracle decks, divination, and pagan publications. However, I’m not limited to these subjects (as you can see from my previous clients/projects list below)!
Please contact me for an estimate.
