I specialize in copyediting fiction for adult and young readers.
In the past seven years I have been hired as the copyeditor, proofreader, or production editor on more than 600 books for clients that include Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Granity Studios. Among the books I’ve worked on are a National Book Award finalist, a Hugo Award winner, two Top 10 Books of the Year, and several instant #1 New York Times bestsellers.
Production Editor
Management of the production editorial stages for each book you’re readying for publication. This service is available only for publishing houses and studios.
Copyediting
Two read-throughs of your manuscript with a focus on standardizing spelling, punctuation, grammar, and style. At this stage, I also read for sense and consistency in timeline, character traits, and scene blocking. Nothing goes unchecked.
Proofreading
Two read-throughs of your typeset pages. Proofreading either the first or second pass of your book involves flagging any lingering editorial errors, typographical errors, alignment errors, tight or loose lines, and inconsistent design elements.
E-book QC
A quality control check of your EPUB file to ensure that your e-book is error-free and matches your print edition. Much like a proofread, this can involve a word-for-word comparison.
