Through Pax Proofreading, I offer a final polish to any written work pertaining to Catholic theology and culture. Meticulous and thorough, I strive for clarity, consistency, and beauty.

Hi! I'm Myriah C. Boudreaux, a JP2-generation Catholic who earned a bachelor’s degree at Franciscan University in Ohio. As a lifelong learner, my best investments include West’s week-long Theology of the Body conference and Cavins’ salvation history series: ‘The Bible Timeline.’ Focus projects center on Catholic theology and Christian living.

What Is Proofreading?

Original Text

Proofread Text

Proofreading addresses 

  • capitalization errors and inconsistencies 
  • spelling errors and inconsistencies 
  • sentence structure (fine-tuning)
  • punctuation errors
  • minor and formating issues spacing issues. 

Proofreading is the last stop a document makes before being published.

What people are saying:

Myriah is a skilled editor. I've used her twice now and will continue to. Her editing has helped me become a better writer. Myriah consistently improves the words I've written. She's communicative and quick too. I'm very happy with her work! ~Alissa Bonnell, freelance author of "Divine Nature" on Substack

Great turn around. Myriah understood what was requested and delivered what was expected. She was easy to work with. She also responded quickly and was very nice. Thank you, Myriah! Looking forward to our next project. Great job! ~Alejandro Servalli, host of The Catholic Mindset podcast

It's such a relief to have someone with your skill 'fix all of these errors. I also greatly appreciate your spiritual and theological suggestions! ~Kelsey Doherty, creator of Pathfinders Confirmation program

Myriah helped edit my book in a professional, helpful, clear, and concise manner. She found typos, corrected grammatical errors, and even made suggestions for catchy chapter titles and how to adjust confusing sections. She clarified the vision and scope of my book.  I would highly recommend Myriah for any kind of book editing! ~Bryan Mercier, motivational speaker and author, Why Do You Believe in God?: Catholic Conversations with Skeptics and Non-Believers

Myriah did a wonderful job editing my children’s book. She was very responsive and completed the job quickly. I was impressed by her thoroughness and attention to detail. Thank you for a job well done. ~Kat Pendergast, Author of Pickles the Dog series, Speaker, Entrepreneur

"Honestly, you are the best! Thank you so, so much for all of your work with me on this." ~Melissa Ahonen, Author of It's Okay to Be Me: Daily Affirmations for Children

Myriah is so funny! She creates the perfect words and structure that you just didn’t think about as you were writing. I didn’t think anyone could edit better than my last editor. As I was going through her edits, I realized how important it is to hire an editor. She is great. She knows how to tell you your structure doesn’t make sense without hurting your feelings. In my book, Dear Son, I believe she enjoyed adding a woman’s view to my masculine bias. It turned out great. ~Kevin Brown, Christian author

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Myriah over the years. She has assisted with our organization in various ways: promoting a positive image with eye-catching formatting for brochures, generating good phrasing catered to our targeted audiences, while also correcting grammatical structure and proofreading punctuation in press releases. Myriah has always been professional and easy to work with, especially with her ability to generate content in a timely manner. The growth and success of our organization can be attributed to her many contributions. ~Amy Shamburger, organizer and web administrator, Louisiana Natural Birth resource center and support group

Myriah has published our homeschool group newsletter since 2014, and more recently took on the position of secretary.  She is a fantastic team member and frequently jumps in to help before being asked. She has an amazing talent for writing and is punctual with revisions as well as deadlines.  We get many compliments on our newsletter for both its information and its visual appeal.  As secretary, she recently revised our member manual under a very tight deadline. Her time, attention to detail, and dedication to delivering professional work is greatly appreciated by our membership.  ~Jennifer Ledoux, director, Holy Family Homeschoolers
