Copy Editing
I have extensive experience copy editing many types of books, including fiction, autobiographies, and popular science. I have also edited numerous technical manuals, surgical handbooks, textbooks, and multi-author compilations. I am familiar with the industry best practices and how copy editing differs depending on the material.
Proofreading
My proofreading experience has primarily involved fiction. I am familiar with book components and the rules of layout. I also understand the costs involved in substantial changes at the proofreading stage, and I work hard to establish a balance between ensuring the material is error free and preventing unnecessary changes.
