Book Publishers & Editorial Agencies
copyediting, line editing
My work gets that nonfiction manuscript one step closer to publishing.
Are you a publishing professional in search of an independent copyeditor or line editor who can move forward one of the many book projects on your plate? Could you use an affable editor you can rely on for excellent results every time?
You send along any editor’s notes, name your style guide and modifications, and provide the manuscript and any supporting documents. Then trust I will deliver. I communicate questions and concerns to you clearly and early to keep projects running smoothly. And if I’m privileged to work directly with your authors, I’m personable, supportive, and giving.
My job is to make your job easier. Serving—and, hopefully, pleasing—your authors is a bonus.
