Copy-editing is a critical step in getting your manuscript publication-ready, and is the type of work that many people mean when they want editing done (hint: it's not proofreading). A copy-editor closely examines a text word-by-word, looking at: general style, spelling, punctuation, naming conventions, treatment of numbers and numerals, dialogue, character treatment, format of references, grammar, and content, among many other elements. Your copy editor is a professional wordsmith who helps make your manuscript shine the way it is intended! More than just a second set of eyes to smooth out any rough spots, as your copy-editor I work with you to make your text or manuscript the best it can be, while maintaining your voice and vision. That means that it’s still all you, with a little bit of help from me, so we can deliver what your audience most wants to read. Am I the right copy-editor for you? I offer professional, polite, straightforward editing, while staying in tune with your creativity, because I want the same things for your manuscript that you do - a clear, readable, engrossing text that keeps your readers engaged. I am thorough, constructive, and to the point. But don't worry, while I take my work (and yours) seriously, I also have a sense of humor, and I'm easy to work with! Here are the types of projects I mostly work on: • Non-Fiction: Art & Art History (my academic background) and Equestrian (one of my passions) • Fiction: Romance, Equestrian content, Art content, and Cozy Mysteries Other subjects and genres always considered – just ask!
