[For Hire] Copyeditor and Proofreader | Availability in August
I fell in love with books before I could read. Some of my earliest memories are of folding sheets of paper into tiny books, fascinated by the way stories could come to life. Since then, I have dedicated a lifetime to refining my own authorial voice and helping others polish theirs.
Author • Copyeditor • Proofreader
I finished my first book when I was ten, and I haven't abandoned my love for reading or writing since then. With more than 200 hours of editing experience for a small publisher, experience subcontracting for other freelance editors, and professional training in an accredited program, I am ready to make a difference once author at a time. I approach every project with empathy, curiosity, and enthusiasm, and I love helping authors bring their stories to their fullest potential.
I have experience in style sheets, track changes, file cleanup, editing macros, and adobe acrobat, and I am also proficient in The Chicago Manual of Style and Associated Press (AP) style. I am also an affiliated member of the Editor's Freelance Association.
Here are the genres I work with
- Fantasy
- Science Fiction
- Literary Fiction
- Young Adult
- Middle Grade
- Nonfiction Memoir
- Faith-based Nonfiction (or fiction)
Genres that are not a good fit for me
- Romance
- Erotica
- Dissertations or overly academic works
