I have professionally proofread and copyedited for utility companies and medical institutions as well as freelance writers for over thirty years. I've also published four cookbooks on Amazon. Now wanting to step away from corporate America permanently, I want to expand my freelance business.
I have both READING and EDITING services, which you can read about in more detail at my website: https://www.read-edit-write.com (and/or see my post in the Beta Readers section).
I am comfortable working with both American English and British English.
EDITING & PROOFREADING My editing philosophy is simple: We, author and editor, collaborate to bring the best version of your work to the public. We both ultimately serve the future reader.
Because the basic rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage apply equally to any writing, I proofread, copyedit, and line edit all fiction and nonfiction. Of course, I am willing to work with your stylistic preferences as well as genre or topic expectations.
I work in Word using the Track Changes feature and will deliver an annotated copy as well as a clean one (if desired). For copyediting or line editing, I will also send along a style sheet that will show the stylistic choices I have made as well as characters, settings, etc., that I'm watching for consistency.
Whether or not you choose to use my services, surf my site for guides, articles, and posts about self-editing, preparing for professional editing, and getting more book reviews. I'd love it if you'd subscribe to my newsletter or follow my blog (or both).
I would love to talk about your project with you! Feel free to PM me here or use one of the contact forms at my website.
