Company
History
Founded
in Boston, Massachusetts in 2001, Red Pencil Editing Services started
out as a hobby/secondary profession for Managing Editor, Erika-Marie S.
Geiss, a Brandeis University and Tufts University alumna and now a
work-at-home mom. In its early years, Red Pencil Editing Services
concentrated on serving on the academic community on texts written by
students and established scholars.
The joy of editing and simultaneously becoming increasingly frustrated
with observing the decline of the English language while out and about
had a snowball effect, and the projects that the company took on, grew
in size and scope. In 2003, after moving to Michigan, Red Pencil
Editing Services went high-tech and on-line, able to bring editing
expertise to a wider range of clients. We increased our
client base to include business professionals, corporations and
aspiring writers while still serving the academic community.
In late 2004, the company became an LLC and unveiled a new graphic
identity. By 2005 Red Pencil Editing Services had assembled a
team of freelance editors and proofreaders (the Red Pencil Editing
Services wordsmiths) to regularly work with the company's growing
client base. In 2007 the company added express editing services
on a limited basis and in January 2008 Red Pencil Editing Services
added publshing to its projects, launching theWAHMmagazine as a
subsidary. TheWAHMmagzine is the only content-driven digital magazine
for work-at-home parents and is designed to provide parents who work at
home with a resource that addresses all aspects of being a work-at-home
parent. In April 2008 Red Pencil Editing Services lauched a new and
improved Web site in order to provide its clients with more streamlined
and
efficient transactions.
The Wordsmiths
Our talented team
of wordsmiths has a broad range of experience and specialites and will
be sure that your edited document is clean, clear and consice.
- Erika-Marie S.
Geiss, Managing Editor
With over a decade of experience as an editor, Geiss is also a writer
and member of the Association of Art Editors, the International Women's

- Jennifer Chua
Jen is a communications professional with nearly a decade of writing
and editing experience. Her enthusiasm for editing has landed her
experience working for a business intelligence software company, trade
magazine and Web development company. View credentials.
- Marna Poole
Marna has over 10 years' experience as an editor and
writer. She knows that all too often, potentially great writing remains
mediocre (or worse) because of problems with grammar or punctuation,
factual or logical inconsistencies, or verbose or inelegant wording. A
professional edit can fix these problems because a professional editor
knows exactly what to change and what to leave alone.
In addition to her editing expertise, Marna's background
includes nine years as a K-8 educator, five years as the content
manager of an alternative medicine Web site, and a few relatively
unproductive (but extremely fun!) years as a singer in local
coffeehouses and clubs. She has written extensively for a variety of
Web sites and has written articles for corporate and education
newsletters. (And if you were to peek in the back of her closet, you
probably would find her collection of children's stories.)
Marna is very pleased to be part of the Red Pencil Editing team and
looks forward to helping writers polish their work until it shines.

- Linda Schaefer
Linda has a
passion for the written word, and has an
undergraduate degree in English Literature. She has a desire to help
others, and taught reading fluency and language arts
instruction to culturally diverse, at risk students. Her exceptional
knowledge of the English Language, and love for the written word, has
always remained strong, and she has since left teaching to pursue
editing as hermain career focus and objective. Linda has lived
in London, England for two years, Sydney, Australia for one year, and
most recently in New York City’s Upper West Side. Linda has always
enjoyed
a far off adventure, whether in a book, or experiencing it first hand.

- Nina Welding
Nina
has 20 years' experience in marketing
communications as an editor, writer and advertising account executive.
She is the author of several non-fiction articles and a children's
play. If there is one thing that she has learned over the years it's
that whatever stops your reader's eye--a typo, poor word choice, poor
design choice or an awkward line break--stops your message. With the
competition in today's markets, that is something
that most businesses cannot afford. View credentials.
