Highly-skilled copy editor/proofreader with eight years experience at an international publishing house (Oxford University Press) offers efficient, prompt and meticulous editorial services. Personable and easy to work with, excellent grammar and writing skills combined with a rigorous work ethic make me the ideal candidate for all your editorial needs.
I am a highly-skilled, meticulous copy editor/proofreader with over eight years of industry experience. Senior Editor at one of Oxford University Press’s international branches has given me the training and background to tackle a wide range of textual material, ranging from children’s textbooks to pamphlets, company reports, web pages and academic writing. With an obsessive attention to detail and standardization, and access to the Chicago Manual of Style and the APA guidelines, I ensure that the text that I am working on meets the highest standards of excellence both in terms of language and presentation. As I am a published writer myself, I understand the author’s concern to preserve the original intention of the words on the page and try to work with them to produce the best version possible. I am polite and have an easy rapport with people. I am familiar with a wide range of genres and writing styles and am comfortable editing almost any subject matter as well as writing in different registers. Previous editorial projects include a history series for junior high students, an international atlas, poetry textbooks for the primary level, a high school English language course, etc. I have an MA in English from King’s College, University of London.
