College or University Summer Courses?
Posted May 31 2007 by Amanda | Filed under AnnouncementsFor a lot of people, it makes sense academically to take a class or two during the summer. However, who really wants to spend time slaving over research papers and literature essays on a perfect beach day? I’m here this summer to save you some trouble and some time. Just think: you can send me your assignment, then go to a cookout or take a day to work on your tan while I get the editing done.Â

Don’t let school get in the way of a great summer.
I Won A Big Writing Award!
Posted May 15 2007 by Amanda | Filed under AnnouncementsOK, so I’m going to toot my own horn a little. I found out that I won this year’s Boston University College of Communication PR Writing Contest. The contest was open to all public relations students in the undergrad and graduate programs here at BU. I’m so proud, especially because I am still an undergrad and was competing with students in the entire program for this prize. I’ll be part of an award ceremony in the fall honoring all the students who have won COM awards this year–I’ll keep you posted. This is all very exciting, so I wanted to let my EbA friends know. Talk to you soon!
New, Awesomely Easy-to-Use Contact Form
Posted May 03 2007 by Amanda | Filed under AnnouncementsNow I feel like this is a real Web site (I think I’m channeling Pinocchio here), because I finally have a legitimate Contact Amanda page. Now you can send me your thoughts and questions directly from this site. Who doesn’t love convenience? Oh, and I’m a really good pen pal, so don’t be shy if you have anything at all to share regarding me, my site, your work, or writing in general.
As a side note, I would like to point out that yes, I am an actual, real, live person. Most editing sites are just a computer spitting out expensive prices and grammar changes, but I pride myself on being friendly, accessible, and real. My name really is Amanda Gravel and I really am from Boston and I really do sit down and read your writing when you send it to me. No grammar-robots here. Just a girl who’s keepin’ it real and improving people’s writing. Real people getting real results. That’s what Editing by Amanda is all about.
Proofreading Page
Posted May 03 2007 by Amanda | Filed under AnnouncementsUnder the Editing Services heading, you can now find a page for basic Proofreading. If you really only want someone to check for typos, spelling mistakes, and misused punctuation, this is the right option for you. And at only $2 per page, with NO MINIMUM, you can be sure that you’re getting the best deal around. However, I still recommend thorough editing if you are unsure about your grammar use, organization, and clarity. We can look at your work together (albeit in cyberspace) and choose the best option for you. Good luck with your writing and I’ll talk to you soon!
