April Kelly – Editor

Hi! I'm a copy editor and proofreader with 15 years of experience, specializing in sci-fi and fantasy novels (primarily dystopian sci-fi, and epic fantasy). As a copy editor, I provide my clients with a polished draft, focusing on grammar, syntax, and tone. My goal is to always preserve the author's unique voice as I work. In addition to grammar, I also pay special attention to word flow, character development, and continuity.

My clients are always encouraged to share if there are specific things they would like me to watch for or comment on. I will also create a style guide if requested.

As an avid reader myself, my personal reading list is almost exclusively made up of sci-fi and fantasy, so if you're looking for someone as obsessed with those genres as you are, let's talk!

For those considering how to budget for copy editing and proofreading, my rates are roughly commensurate with the Editorial Freelancers Association rate guidelines, which can be found online.
