Deadline-driven copyediting and proofreading for book manuscripts and page proofs. Comfortable editing Word documents using track changes, footnote, endnote, and templating features. Also skilled in marking page proofs electronically using Adobe Acrobat Pro (tools, annotations, drawing markups, comments, and stamps palette). Fluent in Chicago Manual of Style 15th/16th, well versed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 5th, competent in the Associated Press Stylebook. One of my best skills is editing/creating notes, references, and bibliographies. Areas of interest/specialization include fiction and nonfiction, business, psychology, social sciences, memoir, and personal narrative. I am also open to a challenge and like to work in new subject areas. Eight years experience editing (copyediting and proofreading) book manuscripts and page proofs for publishers such as John Wiley & Sons, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Greenleaf Book Group, and Jenkins Group. Fifteen years of progressively responsible experience in college, public, and school libraries in the areas of administration, systems, and cataloging, usually in a centralized technical services department.
