There will be no escaping words — we’ll always have them. Copy and content can be found anywhere, and I’m here to help you get yours everywhere!
Your words. Your voice. Everywhere.
Turning your good to exceptional, my sole interest is making you shine. This digital, fast-paced world is never going to let go of words. But words are just words without the polish of copyediting, proofreading, and copywriting, no matter how digital we must be.
Proofreading the words you write. Writing the words you need.
Welcome to juliehortoncreative. And the process is simple. If your words are written or need to be, I’m here to put pen to paper. Writing is a skill that captures readers with the writer’s words. Grammar and punctuation keep them there. Voice, tone, and flow are the essence of your storytelling. Research and clever SEO bring Google ranking right to your copy and content. With the craftsmanship of a copywriter, copyeditor, and proofreader, we wrap everything up into one ball of fun and show them a good time. Are you ready? I am!

About Me
Hi, I’m Julie — how are you? It’s my pleasure to meet you. Here’s a little bit about me, but I am really excited to learn all about you!

Blog
The thing is, I just like to write. The thoughts come, and for years I shushed them — I didn’t let them out. Now I share them, because nobody can tell me not to anymore.
Hi, I’m Julie … and that’s Emma!
Julie, Emma, and Naptime
And I have four children plus three more (my incredible son-in-law and two grandbabies) and we love our dogs. This bunch makes me smile.
And I also love words. I love reading them, I love writing them, I love helping YOU write them. I’m a nurturer and thrive on the creative chaos of our big family. And I nurture at work, too. Through all the fun I still make sure their shoes are tied and your words are organized.
Proofreading makes me happy. And that’s a good thing because I really can’t stop doing it. I have this naturally gifted eagle eye and can spot grammatical errors at a thousand yards. I guess it’s my superpower so I might as well jump onboard!
As a proofreader, copyeditor, and copywriter I’m here to make sure you and your thoughts shine bright — because they’re YOUR superpower. They’re your WORDS. They’re your VOICE. And they’ll be EVERYWHERE.
Write with me!
The World’s Best Clients!

The Process
Step One
Send a note. Or a text. Email works. Or hey, just call me. And I promise to reply within 24 hours.
Step Two
Getting to know each other. Tell me about you. It’s our own personal Q&A. I’d love to hear what you do and why you do it. We’ll share ideas and thoughts and see how they all fit together. And we’ll talk business, too; a proposal outlining our project plan, up to 3 rounds of edits via GoogleDocs, and 50% down/50% on receipt. And we’re not going to Step Three unless you feel confident you’ll be getting what you’re paying for!
Step Three
And off we go! We’ve figured out we speak the same language and both want your business to soar. The dollars and cents of it all is entirely agreeable and we’re ready to roll. …Write. I meant “…w r i t e…”.
…WRITE WITH ME…
Proofreading is my schtick. I just really love it, and love even more using my skills to help others perfect theirs. Both proofreading and copyediting have been a daily part of my career and I bring to juliehortoncreative over 20 years of experience as a c-level executive assistant and administrative coordinator with an eye for impeccable detail, consistent voice & tone, and the desire to make sure you look really, really good.
Hello!
Thank you for visiting my site ~~ I’m excited to talk with you soon! We’ll have a good time working together — the possibilities are endless and your crazy deserves some calm. I’ve got you!
