Trish Lockard, editor, book coach, writer, proofreader, and owner of Strike The Write Tone.
You have written with a purpose. I won’t lose sight of that purpose as I edit your work.
My promise to you is that I will read every word of every sentence with the same degree of discernment you used when writing it.
I look forward to us working together to present your best work to the world.
Welcome. I'm Trish Lockard. As Strike The Write Tone, I offer all levels of editing for a wide range of nonfiction, creative nonfiction, memoir, and self-help texts. I will proofread any manuscript, fiction or nonfiction. Visit my SERVICES page for details.
I am a member of:
Editorial Freelancers Association
National Association of Independent Writers and Editors
Long ago and far away... after receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications from the University of South Florida in Tampa, I began a career as a technical writer of end-user software instruction manuals for telecommunications, insurance, cartography, and freight logistics companies, as well as corporate policy and procedure documentation and employee benefits handbooks.
In addition, I am proud to be a contract editor, book coach, and ghostwriter for The Cheerful Word, a memoir publisher in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
