Remote (Mill Creek, Washington)
Fiction, self-help, memoir
As a highly rated freelance copyeditor and line editor with 32 years of experience with publishers, self-publishing authors, and corporations, I'll work with you to perfect your fiction or nonfiction copy. I focus on:
Grammar
Punctuation
Sentence structure
Clarity
Consistency
Vocabulary
Flow
Style
Continuity
You'll get:
Two rounds of editing (redline edits and questions/comments)
A style sheet
Collaboration after delivery, with review of any new/revised copy that follows the initial edit
Final ebook file for Kindle, Nook, Apple, Kobo, Google, and generic EPUB if needed
I work for the reader as much as I work for the author. While I strive to polish and retain your style and voice, I also make sure that copy is accessible and clear for the reader.
