Just for Writers
Writing is the most powerful form of communication. The written word has longevity. It has the capacity to educate, inform, sell, and entertain. Whether destined for internet, print, or digital publication — writing must be clear and compelling. A writer’s job, then, is to produce words that impact and resonate with readers, words that shine.
What happens to the words you write? Will they end up in a slush pile on an editor’s desk? Sitting in an agent’s inbox? Will your words stay hidden, buried in some file on your computer’s hard drive?
Every person who’s achieved success has done so by standing on the shoulders of giants. Nobody can get to the top alone, but with commitment, passion, and a little help, a dedicated writer can make words that people want to read, words that people will pay to read.
Writing Help
Hiring an editor, proofreader, or writing coach is a big step for any writer, and an important one. When you hire a professional to edit, proofread, or critique your work, you are investing in your writing and in your future. More importantly, you are investing in yourself.
Writing Forward provides these services for writers who are serious about their craft. All proofreading, editing, and critique services are performed by me, Melissa Donovan.
I’ve been doing this type of work for almost two decades – at work and among friends and family, I’m the token English major, the one who knows how to spell, punctuate, and craft sentences that are grammatically correct (but I occasionally bend the rules, something every great writer knows how to do effectively).
I have a broad range of writing experience, and I work full time as a professional website copywriter and web content specialist. But my passion is helping other writers meet their full potential.

I provide the following services for writers:
If you’re looking for someone to help you get that article polished, or make sure your latest short story is free of grammatical hiccups, or give you feedback on your novel or poetry, then look no further. I’m here to help.
You’ve written the words. Now the only question is: What will you do with them? Please contact me and let’s work together to make your writing shine.
