Thoughtful Editing. Reliable Service.
Results You Can Trust.
Meet the editor behind Verity Proofreading and Editing, LLC.
Introduction
Hi, I’m Melissa Nichols, founder of Verity Proofreading and Editing, LLC. I’m a professional editor, proofreader, and content specialist with more than 15 years of experience in writing, publishing, and language precision.
My editing style is detailed yet collaborative—I help polish your writing without changing your voice. Whether you’re an author preparing a manuscript, a business owner refining web content, or a student finalizing your thesis, I bring an eye for clarity, flow, and correctness to every project.
Why Verity? The Meaning Behind the Brand
Verity means truth, accuracy, and integrity—the very heart of editing. I chose this name because it reflects my belief that great writing is about more than just good grammar—it’s about communicating your ideas truthfully, clearly, and confidently. At Verity, every word is treated with the care it deserves.
Why Work With Me
Experienced & Versatile
I’ve worked with authors, agencies, magazines, and legal pros—specializing in academic, business, and creative writing. Fluent in AP, Chicago, MLA, APA, and Harvard styles.
Remote & Reliable
Experienced in remote work and operations leadership, I excel at meeting deadlines, managing client communication, and ensuring smooth, efficient collaboration across teams
Always Detail-Oriented
I don’t just fix grammar—I take a holistic approach, improving clarity, refining flow, and catching inconsistencies to ensure your writing is polished, cohesive, and effective.
Personal Touch
My love for language started early and carried me through more than a decade in bookstores, publishing, and editing. I hold an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies from the University of Louisville and completed professional training through Proofreading Academy.
When I’m not editing, you’ll find me with a good book, a strong cup of coffee, or spending time with my family. I believe in honest feedback, a warm working relationship, and helping your writing reflect its best self.
Professional proofreading and editing that elevates your voice.
