Editing page
As an editor, Diana Coogle provides a solid basis for writing of all kinds: book manuscripts, articles, artists' statements, program notes, technical writing, fiction, etc. Editing can be at any level desired - taking an idea and giving it a voice; technical editing for errors of punctuation, grammar, spelling, and other aspects of mechanics; editing for clarity of word choice, sentence structure, phraseology, etc.; directions for increasing the impact of the writing through precision with the language, conciseness, and organization; thorough editing including rewriting.
Diana Coogle excels in helping the writer say in the best manner possible exactly what the writer intends and in keeping the unique voice of the client intact while at the same time clarifying the intent of the writing and strengthening its presentation. She especially enjoys editing for artists.
