I am an experienced and qualified member of the Society for Editors & Proofreaders in the UK.
My experience covers editing and proofreading of biographies, self-help books and novels (fiction and non-fiction) for publishing companies and independent authors, as well as editing and developing business documents for organisations. In addition, during my previous career in local government finance, internal audit and corporate governance, I gained an MBA (Distinction) and wrote, reviewed, edited and proofread over 1,000 reports.
All of my customers have provided excellent feedback on the quality, clarity and added value of my work. I have also been awarded ‘difficult’ projects due to my thoroughness and eye for detail. I pride myself on doing an excellent job, my reliability and meeting tight deadlines. I enjoy my role and being able to help others to develop their creative work.
I can proofread your work in Word with tracked changes or in PDF using comment boxes. I have extensive experience of working in US English.
My services include editing and proofreading, working to or developing a style guide, suggesting improvements on consistency, style, formatting, layout, design etc.
I am keen to learn more about your project, so please feel free to contact me to discuss further and learn more about my services. Editing 3,000 words usually takes me about 3 hours, which should allow you to calculate the likely cost and this is easily achievable within your timescales.
