You’re an online business owner with a dirty secret.
You hate writing.
You’d rather connect with people some other way—by phone, video chat, or in-person—because that’s where you shine, but everyone keeps telling you that you need an online presence. Which means a lot of writing:
Social media accounts.
Email marketing sequences.
Digital products.
Blog posts.
And you need a gorgeous website—including at the very least About, Contact, and Services pages—to be the hub of all the goodness that is your online business.
You don’t consider yourself a good writer so the process is painful. The amount of written content that you need to create paralyzes you, so you’re months (a year?) behind on your website launch.
Or...
You have a website but your stats show that visitors bounce as soon as they arrive, your blog posts have no comments, and your social media captions only get a few “hearts”. Even though you have an amazing—if you say so yourself—business, you don’t know how to tell your brand story in a way that captivates and connects with readers and turns them into email subscribers, talk less, buyers.
You know what you want to say but it never comes out in writing the way you want it to—so frustrating!
You’d love to outsource all the writing for your business, but aside from the fact that good copywriters charge a minimum of four figures to develop the content for a five-page website, even the best copywriter will still need you to fill out a detailed questionnaire about yourself, your brand, and your business, which will be used to write your website content.
SO.
You can’t avoid writing entirely, but you can stop stressing about writing perfectly. Hire a copy editor on retainer today and you'll get written copy that touches your readers' hearts and leads them to subscribe to your list or make that purchase. If you're looking for a copy editor, that's where I come in!
Hi, I’m Jummy, a copy editor whose attention to detail and editing skills have received accolades over the years. I’ve been editing for over 10 years and have edited all sorts of documents, from emails to a potential mentor to sales pages for online businesses. I’m a passionate perfectionist who’ll treat your business’s written content like my own!
With me, copy editing isn’t just fixing spelling mistakes and tweaking grammar (though that’s part of it). Copy editing goes deeper—it’s about setting the tone of your message, being consistent throughout your brand, and drawing in the reader through the art of storytelling.
I was really impressed with Jummy’s copy editing services she provided for a sales page I wrote. She organised it in such a way that it was more appealing and the message was clearer. I have gotten sales via my sales page! If you are looking for a copy editor for your sales page or ebooks, Jummy is the one you need.

Imagine the freedom of writing out your first draft, knowing that someone else will be responsible for correcting the errors and telling your brand story the way it deserves to be told. Wouldn’t it be great to leave the wordsmithing to someone who’s passionate about it?
If you need someone with strong writing skills who understands what makes people buy books, look no further. Before Jummy, I thought I had it all together. I was confident that I had a foolproof book and a message to get sales and raving fans.
Hiring Jummy for my ebook was the best business decision I’ve ever made with regards to my writing.
Not only did she catch sneaky misspellings, she improved my flow of ideas and connected them to the whole picture in a logical manner. I was able to resolve several conflicting statements and ensure consistency throughout, and I feel much more clearer about my message and its intended result.
Jummy is a great communicator, courteous, fast, skilled, and goes the extra mile to make sure you come up with a publishable book…because your words create the first impression of your value to others!

Case Study
About page copy for Puptown Girl Box,
a monthly subscription box – puptowngirlbox.com
Wendy’s the hardworking founder and CEO of Puptown Girl Box, a monthly subscription box for modern dog moms. She came to me for help with her About page copy because while she’s a whiz at business, word-wrangling isn’t her passion. Wendy asked me to help inject the vibe of her brand into her About page so that readers landing on the page would instantly know if her subscription box was for them.
A good About page is less about you and more about your reader and what you can offer them. When you connect authentically with your reader and relate to them, they’re more inclined to do business with you and also become a loyal member of your tribe.

Our mission...
Our love of dogs is expressed in the accessories we wear, the art we hang, and even the mug we sip our tea from. Being a crazy dog-lady at heart, a gift box for dog Moms by dog Moms was created to spoil both you and your dog and to help celebrate the collective love we share for them.
Puptown Girl Box is pawssonate about dogs in need and is dedicated to gifting back to them as much as they gift to us. Puptown Girl Box showcases a new and deserving dog rescue in your subscription box every month where a portion of your purchase is donated to so you can feel great about being a crazy dog-lady, as we sure do!

About Puptown Girl Box
We’re the lucky ones. The ones who, once upon a time, let a furry stranger into our homes and before long, into our hearts as well. Now we can’t imagine anyone we’d rather share our life, bed, and money with! We celebrate their birthdays, buy them treats “just because”, and give in to (literal) puppy dog eyes more often than we care to admit. We can’t help it: our kids have paws and we’re proud dog moms!
Puptown Girl Box is a curated monthly subscription box that celebrates modern dog moms and the special bonds we have with the dogs in our lives. If you’ve been called a crazy dog lady, it’s time to embrace it: we may fight a losing battle with dog hair, but we’ve got style!
A Puptown Girl believes that life should be lived well, from the friendships she cultivates to the trips she takes, to how she accessorizes herself and decorates her home. She believes in spoiling herself and her best fur-friend, but she also loves to give back to causes that touch her heart. The Puptown Girl Box supports each of these by providing goodies for you and your favourite dog, all in one monthly subscription box, and by donating a portion of the profits of each box to a different dog rescue each month.
Get ready to start a new monthly tradition with your favourite pup (or pup at heart!)—order a Puptown Girl Box now.

FAQs
We’ll be setting up the schedule for our collaboration together, so in a perfect world, our schedule will work for you, making it easier to stick to. However, I know that life sometimes gets in the way. I ask that you give me at least one week’s notice if you’ll be making changes to our schedule and I’d be happy to copy edit any work that's submitted outside of the agreed-upon deadlines. Please note that in these instances, the copy editing will be done at my earliest convenience, out of respect for my other clients.
I don’t charge per hour because I’m a perfectionist and you shouldn’t have to pay me for going over your work for the umpteenth time! Instead, my rates are based on the number of words in your document.
To keep track of your monthly usage, once a month, you’ll receive a summary of the documents that have been copy edited for you and how many documents remain to be copy edited.
They sure do: the carry-over period for a three-month retainer is three months (i.e., you have a total of six months to use the copy editing services), and the carry-over period for a six-month retainer is four months (i.e., you have a total of ten months to use the copy editing services).
Please note that out of respect for other clients, your catch up copy editing will be worked into my schedule.
Absolutely! As I mentioned, I’m a passionate perfectionist (where words are concerned!) so I’m only happy if you love your copy! As a result, I include two revisions after delivery of your work to make sure that you’re happy with your revised copy.
Although I can’t provide a refund for work that I’ve already completed, you may cancel a contract before the end of the month, in which case you'll receive a prorated refund for any work not yet completed in the month, and further payments will not be processed. Beyond this, I'll always do my best to accommodate refund requests.
