Copyediting &
proofreading
for fiction,
non-fiction
& students’
writing
As a fiction and non-fiction copyeditor and proofreader, I put you and your story first and help ‘make books happen’.
With strong and solid qualifications and experience with both publishers and self-publishing authors, I will help you polish your book by taking care of the language, at the same time always respecting you, your style and your voice.
Services
I offer both copyediting and proofreading.
Which service you will choose depends on the stage in the book-writing process you are in.
Copyediting
Copyediting happens when your book is written and you don’t expect any major changes such as rewriting or changing the structure. As a copyeditor, I will help you get your book fit for publication.

Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage of preparing a book for publication. It happens after the book has been copyedited, designed and typeset, and it provides the final quality check in terms of overlooked errors and other problems.
