I offer light to medium copyediting and proofreading for nonfiction: book manuscripts, business communication, nonprofit reports, marketing materials, blogs, website content, you name it.
I am a native speaker of American English, with all its with idioms, expressions, and unpredictable language rules. I can find errors in spelling, grammar, word choice, and punctuation. I can make suggestions to improve clarity and wordiness and point out overused words and phrases. I can ensure consistency of style and even fact-check if desired.
I am familiar with Chicago style. If you are not using a style guide, I will still ensure consistency within the document.
"Editing" is quite a broad field. I do copyediting proofreading. Here are some types of editing and related tasks I do NOT offer:
• content editing
• substantive editing
• structural editing
• developmental editing
• beta reading
• formatting for e-readers
• fiction services
