Ode to the typographical error
The typographical error is a slippery thing and sly;
You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow will get by.
’Till the forms are on the press, it is strange how still it keeps.
It shrinks down in a corner, and it never stirs or peeps –
That typographical error, too small for human eyes –
’Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to mountain size.
The boss, he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans;
The copyreader drops his head upon his hands and moans.
The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be,
But the typographical error is the only thing you see.

How can I help?
I am a typesetter/page designer who enjoys proper-looking printed matter, and who gets frustrated at typos (that's typos, not typo's) that have been missed by a million people before it reaches the press. Whether you already have your design idea and draft copy, or you're starting from scratch, I can help get you to the finishing line. You may have a small business and need professional-looking literature or a regular newsletter to email, or have a graphic design department that is overwhelmed with work: either way, I can help.
I guarantee to stick to the schedule and communicate with you along the way – I will go the extra mile to meet that deadline!
So, if you require attention to detail (and proper-looking pages), please get in touch.
