While we're not quite that fanatical, we have spent many years learning where to put commas and semicolons so they do the most good to make copy read brilliantly.
Send us your blog copy or URL, and let us work magic with spelling, grammar and punctuation.
For Patent Attorneys
Since 2009, I have worked for a patent attorney who handles a wide variety of patent types. He sends me a rough draft and preliminary drawings online. I then compare to make sure all items are mentioned in the application and all numbers in the document are correct. 

In addition, with 11 years of editing experience (including copy editing of a textbook for Macmillan Publishers), I offer suggestions for revision in grammar, spelling, noun/verb agreement, punctuation, syntax and sentence structure. As a layperson, I am able to spot where descriptions could be clearer and explain my reasoning.

When I work, I use the MS Word Track Changes feature, and I offer comments where appropriate. It is then a simple matter for an attorney to accept or reject changes and to consider suggestions I make.

I do not rewrite. I shine a light on errors or weak spots to help ensure that the patent will be granted. Feel free to contact me if you would like a reference.
