Experienced Canadian copy editor, stylistic editor, and proofreader.
My name is Natalia, and I am an experienced Canadian copy editor, stylistic editor, and proofreader.
I have been freelancing for five years now. I have a degree in English Literature and Political Science, certificates in Editing and Plain Language, and extensive professional development and certificates at various Canada/US/UK-based editing organizations.
I follow the Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS), unless otherwise instructed, and I am well versed in both US and Canadian publishing norms.
In fiction, I specialize in romance, science fiction, horror, mystery, and thriller genres for self-publishing authors.
(In addition, in non-fiction, I specialize in plain language, inclusive language, and accessibility.)
Work Terms
All my copy (and/or stylistic) edits include
- an edited Microsoft Word document with "Track Changes" and comments,
- a clean Microsoft Word document,
- a detailed style sheet with explanations of my style choices, and
- an inclusive language review (included in the style sheet, if requested).
My hours are flexible. I look forward to discussing you project in further detail.
