I’m Kelsey Rexroat, a Bay Area copy editor and the editing force behind RxEdit. When I review your content, I bring the same keen eye for logic, organization, messaging, and detail that I’ve brought to clients like Apple, The New Yorker, and Amazon Pay.

I know the details of grammar and punctuation inside out, but I won’t run roughshod over your copy with a bunch of subjective demands. I use a measured and thoughtful editorial touch to make sure your message shines, without distractions.

Editing isn’t something I stumbled into — it’s always been my passion. Before launching a career that has included over a decade of full-time copy-editing experience, I graduated summa cum laude with a master’s in Professional Writing and Publishing from DePaul University. I also earned a graduate certificate in Medical Editing from Chicago University’s Graham School. I am fluent in Chicago style, AP style, and AMA style. Not sure which one you should be following? I can make a personalized recommendation!

Before starting RxEdit, I worked for years as a full-time editor on Apple’s marketing team, perfecting website copy seen by tens of millions of people. I have also edited across many fields beyond tech, including travel, entertainment, nonprofits, government, food and beverages, and medicine.

It takes a professional pair of eyes to make sure your content has flawless grammar, punctuation, and usage while staying snappy, engaging, and on target. But most businesses can’t afford the luxury of an in-house copy editor.

I created RxEdit with the idea that editing is important, and getting eyes on content quickly shouldn’t be such a hassle. I’ve designed every step of the process to be seamless, from instant quotes to guaranteed turnaround times, with no minimum spend. For an even more tailored and effortless experience, I offer subscription services that are like having an on-call editor on staff — for a fraction of the cost.

• Tech: I navigate complex technical material and help translate it into clear, easy-to-digest copy for your readers. Years of editing for Apple’s website and internal guidelines have honed my eye for technical details and content that promotes a seamless user experience.

• Lifestyle and entertainment: Marketing copy for travel, entertainment, and lifestyle services should be attention-grabbing and snappy. I flag repetitive, watered-down, and distracting language so your message shines for readers.

• Government and not-for-profit: It takes a professional touch to simplify complex bureaucratic content without muddying important details. I can help your content find that balance with an eye for approachability and organization.

• And more: There’s more to editing than ensuring proper spelling and grammar (although I check for that too). Need to fit your message into half the words? Worried that your copy is too repetitive? Too vague? Too jargony? I can help.
