Remote
Nonfiction
I'm a remote freelance copy editor and proofreader with three years of experience working on nonfiction books.
I had a 45-year newspaper career and retired in 2017 as an award-winning page designer and headline writer.
I love helping authors with their memoirs, business books and self-help books.
I'm also a writer who publishes a personal Substack blog called You Can Learn From Books, which is about reading, pop culture and other interests. I make sure the copy is clear and clean. It's a good way to polish my skills as an editor.
I believe ACES will offer me fresh opportunities to learn, grow and earn jobs as a nonfiction editor.
My abilities include fact-checking, grammar, spelling, style and punctuation. I'm an error detector. I catch stuff and correct it.
I provide feedback and suggestions for improving the overall flow and structure of a document.
I'm a meticulous and methodical editor in Microsoft Word, where I track changes.
I rely on Associated Press style, though I'm open to using other guides.
I look forward to seeing what I can do for writers through ACES. In addition to books, I will edit newsletters and blog posts.
Put this editor to work, please.
