Broos Campbell

I'm a word doctor, grammar surgeon, syntactical proctologist and style EMT. I also do postmortems and raise books from the dead. I'm magic!

As a writer, I know what it's like to look down the barrel of a red pen. As an editor, I know what it's like to point that pen. It can be daunting from either side, or it can be fun and fulfilling.
 
I don't change text just because I might like to say it differently. But if it's confusing, ambiguous or flat-out wrong, I'll let you know.
 
Don't worry, though. I'll remember that it's your baby.
