Carolyn Keating – Editor

Expert copy editor/proofreader (25+ years working for major book publishers) specializing in nonfiction books. I NEVER use AI!

Overview

Are you ready to put the finishing touches on your book to make it the best it can be? Need a grammar guru who's an expert in Chicago Manual of Style? You've found the right person!

I've worked for decades as a copy editor and proofreader for publishers including Chronicle Books, HarperCollins, Ten Speed Press, and Lonely Planet, proofreading and copyediting books on social sciences, health, home, and travel, ranging from Under the Tuscan Sun to Marie Kondo.

As an eagle-eyed proofreader I am happy to do a final polish on your work, or can copyedit it to clean up your grammar while keeping your voice and tone.

I look forward to working on your book with you!
