Since 2013, I've had the privilege of helping aspiring military veteran authors bring their work to market. I have copy edited over forty novels, novellas and non-fiction guides in the last two years, as well as scores of smaller projects, without ever missing a deadline. Since I focus on more than just proofreading, I provide a host of services, including marketing advice and formatting, to get your manuscript 100% "ready to upload." A little about me first. I served from 2002-2007 in the US Army and knocked out two tours in Iraq. After the military, I earned a bachelor's degree in business administration and found myself working in Germany. I first cut my editing teeth performing English to German technical translations... a grueling and extensive process that makes copy-editing seem like a relaxing hobby! In the fiction world, I've worked on everything from steamy romances to hard sci-fi, and enjoyed them all. While I offer a variety of editing options, the most popular service is a bundled package that includes two separate proofs, as well as ebook and paperback formatting/typesetting. What exactly does this entail? Proofreading: Copy Editing: - Massage sentence-level syntax for clarity, consistency and readability, without twisting your unique writing style. - Polish overall tone and flow. This phase overlaps with "developmental editing," but there's no extra charge. I take pride in weeding out continuity errors, plot holes, unrealistic dialogue, inconsistent character actions and the subtle, yet confusing point-of-view shifts.
