Your On-Call Editing Team—Without All the Overhead

You want your text to look its best on every project.

But you don’t have the budget—or time—to hire a dedicated, in-house proofreader or copy editor. And you’re frustrated by the hassle of trying to find a reliable freelancer.

You need an extra set of eyes on your content so you can share it without worrying about embarrassing errors or clunky phrasing.

Here’s the thing, though. You want to work with a partner you can trust.

Not some fly-by-night freelancer or a faceless corporate editing service (located who knows where) that won’t take the time to understand your needs.


“We sent Dave and Super Copy Editors a lot of content, and they consistently improved the quality, clarity, and readability of our work.”

—Nataly Kelly, Former Chief Research Officer, Common Sense Advisory

Stress-Tested Under Unthinkable Conditions

So, how did all this get started?

With a historic hurricane, actually.

On August 30, 2005, the morning after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Times-Picayune copy editor Dave Baker was floating atop floodwaters on a large piece of foam, trying to get a better look at the unbelievable scene of devastation. The sound of rescue helicopters hung in the air.

The night before, Dave had recruited and led a team of copy editors and news designers who worked by generator power until nearly 3 a.m. in the Times-Picayune’s cramped, sweltering “hurricane bunker” through the most stressful time of their professional lives.

They and other seasoned journalists of the newspaper were awarded two Pulitzer Prizes for their work in the wake of the disaster.

Dave’s experience during Hurricane Katrina forever shaped his work ethic as an editor: He knows a thing or two about being flexible and staying cool and confident under pressure.

Super Copy Editors

After moving to New York City and working at The New York Times and The Nation magazine, Dave struck out on his own and founded Super Copy Editors.

His vision: a one-of-a-kind, boutique editing service that provides individual attention to businesses seeking highly accurate proofreading and copy editing.
