Judy Vandiver

Pearland, TX

 

Writing for God's Glory is a ministry owned and run by Judy Vandiver, wife, mother, grandmother, writer, speaker and editor from South Texas. Known for her wit, humor, encouragement and southern drawl, Judy's goal is to inspire others by using the gifts of communication God has given her. "Growing up, I always had a book stuck under my nose, was talking non-stop or busy correcting other people's grammar. Who knew I could make a living doing the very things that annoyed my siblings? Ha. But who do you think they now come to when they need something written or edited?"

Laurel Vincenty
Expressly Editorial

From the time she could hold a crayon to paper, Laurel has enjoyed working with words. Her first editing job, she recalls, was playing “teacher” with the neighborhood kids just so she could correct their English “homework”! Although Laurel has long since traded in her crayons for a computer, she continues to relish in the written word as a professional editor with nearly 25 years of experience.

In 1996, Laurel decided to establish her own editing and proofreading business, Expressly Editorial. Her delight is working as a partner with corporations, organizations, and individuals to help them create clear and effective print and online publications, and Web content.

A member of the American Copy Editors Society and Society of Professional Journalists, Laurel is thrilled to report that Expressly Editorial donates a percentage of its annual profits to socially responsible and earth-friendly organizations.

Naturally gifted in the English language, I've always achieved high testing scores.
