What clients are saying:

“I will add, as a very satisfied customer, that Dagmar is the consummate professional. Being new to this business, I was lost, but she took the time to help me get my book ready. She’s getting the sequel if she can fit it into her schedule!” — Robert Godfrey

#FF @DagmarBleasdale Because she OWNS Westchester Twitter! And her tweets are consistently interesting. — WestchesterLive (07-30-2010)

Don’t think you need or want a social media presence? Think again!

As a proofreader, I “improof” my client’s common spelling, grammar, and formatting mistakes. When editing, I offer insight with empathy and humor, opening up new perspectives and possibilities.

I will work with you to attain focus and accountability to make your writing the best it can be.

I have a love for language and love what I do best: proofreading, writing, and editing. With an eye for layout and armed with a degree in advertising, I worked as an Advertising/Marketing Specialist.

While attending UCLA, I worked as a Bruin Staff Copyeditor and honed my editing skills, and after receiving my B.A. in English, I was a Subtitle Editor for over six years.

Increasingly more in demand as a freelancer, I took the leap into self-employment when I started my own proofreading and editing service, imPROOF, in 2003.

I founded Dagmar’s Home on 2009 and have worked as a professional blogger since then.

I also work as a brand ambassador for major brands, and Twitter party host.
