This Mompreneur Tweaks Words, Not Noses

The Gazette:

Worried that your participles are dangling or your infinitives might be split?

The Coralville woman behind TweakMyWords.com, Belinda Bombei, can come to the rescue.

She won’t write a paper for you, but for $7 a page, she’ll eliminate structure, grammatical, spelling and clarity issues in academic or professional papers in as little as 12 hours. The more time you have, the less it will cost you.

Bombei, 38, launched the online editing business Thanksgiving week.

She and her husband, an Iowa native, moved their family from Chicago three years ago so they could raise their two children in Iowa. Bombei left behind a career as managing editor and communications coordinator for the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.

Offering editing services online was always a “thought in the back of my mind,” says Bombei, who has bachelor’s degrees in communications/journalism and English and a master’s in marketing communications. “It’s something that comes naturally to me.”
