About PFL

The mission of P.F.L. Publishing: Editing, Coaching, and Ghostwriting Services is to provide excellent service to all writers, and to ensure that all are completely satisfied with their written product. P.F.L. specializes in correcting grammatical errors that are often overlooked by writers, including punctuation, spelling, syntax, verb tense, and much more. It also serves to provide guidance to the writer throughout the process of completing and perfecting his or her work.

Editing and Writing-Coach Services:

1.      If you are a potential writer who is looking to make book writing and publishing a career or side job, I want to offer my expertise in helping you develop exceptional writing skills.

2.      My work does not simply focus on correcting grammatical errors of a manuscript; rather, it focuses on perfecting one’s writing craft.

3.      Clients who hire me as a writing coach and editor can receive extensive coaching sessions for the duration of each book project (for fiction and non-fiction books).

4.      Together, we would schedule meetings that would be used to collaborate and discuss ways of making the content and technicality of the writing better.

5.      Even if you do not have a completed manuscript, and are looking to work with a coach to help you through the process, my services are available.

6.      The purpose of my services is to train writers in the art and craft of writing so that future assistance becomes minimal or unnecessary. In other words, once you have received the teaching needed for doing excellent work, it will become less expensive to have others edit or correct your manuscript.

7.      Some examples of what I do include:

a. OCPC (Obsessive compulsive perfectionist correction) editing—detailed focus on perfecting the work

i. grammatical corrections--punctuation

ii. syntax—order of words in a sentence

iii. cohesion—ensuring that the sequence or order of sentences coincide so that the reader “feels” that the content of the work flows well; this depends on how each sentence ends and how the subsequent sentence begins; making individual sentences clear, and a series of sentences cohesive; like glue, making sure that each sentence fits perfectly together

iv. coherence—recognizing what the final product of the sentences in a piece of writing add up to; ensuring that the sentences all relate to the specific topic

v. concision—deleting words that mean little or nothing; deleting repeated words; delete words implied by other words; replace phrases with a word; change negatives to affirmatives
