I have over a decade of experience, and can provide you with editing and proofreading skills for jobs of any size. I guarantee your satisfaction and will work with you to provide you with a perfect finished copy.
NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
I am a full-time freelance editor with more than ten years of experience in proofreading, copyediting, substantive editing, print publishing and document management. My experience is wide-ranging, including five years of legislative editing experience and several years of experience with engineering and consulting firms.
I am well-versed in Chicago, AP, APA, MLA and Canadian Press styles and have used the CSE Manual for scientific writing and editing. I am more than happy to make use of other style guides as appropriate for your needs.
My skills as a researcher are well-honed. I have an extensive reference library in my office, have years of experience in Internet research and am the meanest Trivial Pursuit player you are ever likely to meet.
Some of my past clients have included:
- a sports clinic in need of rewritten ad copy
- a local author whose book-length travelogue I copyedited
- a school district needing a course calendar written and published
- grant proposals for post-doctoral candidates
I also have experience in writing and editing technical documentation. Do you have a user manual for an arcane piece of software? A troubleshooting guide for hazmat workers? A health and safety manual? I have edited all of the above and more.
My goal is to make your writing not merely presentable, but seamless.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
