I very much enjoy the work that I do for some of the largest publishers. I am an approved freelancer (following testing) for a number of large publishers and project management companies.
I work both on screen and in hard copy. For proofreading jobs, I mark up in hard copy using BSI symbols or use annotation tools to mark up PDFs using proof-correction marks. I use PerfectIt and electronic reference checkers to ensure accuracy and consistency. I am experienced in making sound editorial decisions with reference to a variety of style guides and briefs, raising appropriate queries with authors and project managers, compiling lists of running heads and styling copy. I specialise in academic and general non-fiction editing and am highly dependable and professional, even with fast turnaround times, which is why I receive repeat custom from publishers, project management companies, senior academics and students. My flexible and organised approach to business, alongside solid training and a real aptitude for editing, has ensured that I produce work of a consistently high quality. I also edit and proofread fiction; please contact me if you would like to discuss this. Please contact me for details of my current and recent work. |
I can:
‘I have just received the copy edit back from the author and he is delighted with the changes you have made in text. I also must say that ... I did not come across one thing that needed to be amended or queried.’ |
