Yes, the CopyFox has a real-life name. I’m Bob Hartig. I live in Hastings, Michigan, halfway between Grand Rapids and Battle Creek, and I’ve been working with words professionally for more than thirty years.
I spent my first fourteen of those years as the copy manager for Zondervan Publishing House. In 2007 I started my own home-based editing and writing service, serving a diversity of clients ranging from Christian publishing houses to independent authors. I love the freedom and flexibility The CopyFox affords me, and I strive to ensure that my clients are delighted with the results they get working with me.
Besides being the owner of The CopyFox, I’m also a jazz saxophonist, a storm chaser and convective weather junkie, a wildflower and nature enthusiast, and a gym meathead. If your project involves music, weather, or the natural world, my experience in these areas would make me an ideal fit. That said, I’ve edited and written for all kinds of projects over the years, from bestselling trade books to corporate stories to blogs and plenty more. I enjoy learning, I relish creative challenges, and I value clients who broaden my view of the world around me.
That’s me in a nutshell. Now what about you? Email me or give me a call and let’s talk about your project.
I want to thank you again for your excellent job of editing my book. Now that I have it in physical form, I am all the more impressed. It seems without flaw of any kind ! Thank you for smoothing out my language into a flow that is both inviting and true to my voice. — Stan Hagemeyer, author, Courage to Care
