Editor and proofreader with more than two decades of experience. I provide editing for fiction of all genres and lengths. Because I’m also the author of four independently published novels, I know firsthand the importance of having your manuscript professionally edited. Readers will notice the errors that can slip through even the most dedicated self-editing. I’ll work with you to make your novel as polished and error-free as possible. My services include: Proofreading (final check of spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and basic grammar; final check for duplicate words, minor formatting issues, and spacing) Copyediting (check for correct spelling and punctuation; check consistency in names, terms, grammar, and verb tense; correct basic grammar errors; call attention to word repetition and advanced grammar issues requiring rewrites of sentences) Line editing (includes copyediting and editing for style issues such as: wordy, awkward, confusing, or redundant language; overuse of words, phrases, and constructions; problems with wording flow) “Kelly Cozy is a godsend. I am receiving 4 and 5 star reviews for my book, Melody of Murder (An Andromeda Spencer Novel, Book 2) but I am also receiving complaints about the editing. Kelly found all of my mistakes, even the ones I didn’t know I made. Kelly is very easy to work with and she surprised me by having my book edits finished days earlier than I thought she would. Kelly is a priceless asset to any author and I will continue to use her services for all of my books.” — Theresa Parker, the Andromeda Spencer novels
