"Santa's Special Helpers"


We could not have done it without these wonderful Helpers! Thank you, Editor Clarice Joos and Proofreader Wendy Janes!

  
Clarice Joos
I have been proofreading since childhood, helping my mother--a teacher--mark student papers.  My eagle eyes and gift for grammar have enhanced academic writings, corporate communications, blog and website content, and both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts. I received my bachelor’s degree from L.I.U.-Post, and worked in the market research field for many years, where I found that one of the responsibilities I enjoyed most was helping write and edit client communications.  When I left the corporate world, it was only natural to start doing professionally what I’d always excelled at…writing and editing.

I have worked with award-winning authors Inge Auerbacher http://www.ingeauerbacher.com/, Lori Verni-Fogarsi http://www.loritheauthor.com/, and Stefan Vucak http://stefanvucak.com/.  I have also written for several blogs, including Betty Confidential and The Unnatural Mother.  In addition to editing and writing (when the muse strikes), I also write and edit grants for a non-profit breast cancer organization http://rockingtheroadforacure.org/.

I live in Long Island, New York with my husband and two sons.  Whether I am editing my ski club’s monthly newsletter, helping the boys with homework or working on a client's project, I am always on the lookout for spelling errors and stray commas.

Wendy Janes has been a professional freelance proofreader and copy editor for a range of traditional publishers since 2001. She originally trained as a teacher of English and Drama, and worked with children with special educational needs for a number of years.
During a personal foray into self-publishing in 2012 she discovered the excitement and camaraderie of the burgeoning indie sector, and recognised a huge need for indie and self-published books to be properly proofread. So she now offers her proofreading skills to authors at a heavily discounted rate, while continuing her work for traditional publishers.
She lives in London with her husband and youngest son…and yes, of course, like everyone else, she is currently writing a novel.

  1. I was told i had Genital Herpes six months ago. of course it was the worst experience ever and i thought my life was over. So i went online to find things i can do from prevent getting outbreaks and maybe even cure this. I found someones story and how it possibly cured him. ive only had once outbreak which was the first one and i havent had another in six months. This is what i did! Vitamin D one tablet 3x a day, Vitamin C one tablet 3x a day, L-Lysine one tablet 3x a day.You can also take tea tree one tablet 3x a day, everynight after a shower i clean my lower back and make sure its nice & clean i add DSMO cream Mix with 8 drops of oregano and put it on your lower back. The DSMO cream is the one ive heard that can possibly cure it so that is the most important, im soon going to get tested again and im praying to God it comes out negative.
