The author of six published novels and a short story collection (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years' editing and proofreading experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from first-time authors and the self-published to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, romance, crime/thriller, historical, YA, fantasy, sci-fi etc.
Familiar with all publishing industry standards, I will edit any given m/s in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses etc. Secondly, a more creative/technical edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice/flow etc. And thirdly, a final edit to ensure that the m/s has that essential professional polish.
Additional info: I use Track Changes in Word and am looking for a long-term project/regular editing work, any edit will be completed subject to word count but I would aim to return any project within seven days and am happy to provide an interim assessment within 48 hours.
