Editing and proofreading

Are you an author or publisher looking for an experienced editor or proofreader to work on your book or paper?

Copyediting
I can help to get your text ready for the next stage of the publishing process. As well as checking for grammar, spelling and punctuation errors, I will make suggestions for improvements to readability, structure and consistency.

Line editing
If your manuscript needs a little more work before it is ready for copyediting, I can sharpen up sentences and paragraphs so the language is crisp and clear, while also remaining sensitive to your individual voice and writing style.

Structural editing
If you need advice on organising your material, from the big picture of structuring chapters to the flow of sections and paragraphs, I can help to improve the coherence of your manuscript.

Proofreading
I can provide a final quality check to correct any niggling errors so that your work is the best it can be, whether it appears in print or online.
