Catherine Lenderi – Editor

Fiction Proofreader with 12 years experience. I've worked for Bookouture (Hachette), Storm Publishing, Rebellion Publishing.

Overview

I have been working as a proofreader since 2012. I began my career working with Indie authors and I have helped over forty authors to polish and self-publish their novels. I then sought out freelance employment in the traditional publishing industry and so far, I have worked with seven publishers both in UK and US.

I have worked on all genres of fiction novels. You can see some of the books I have proofread in the portfolio section below.

My previous work experience as an English teacher enables me to pay attention to detail, thus producing polished material, free of spelling or grammar mistakes. I have excellent organisational skills and know the importance of meeting deadlines and working on a specific timeframe.

Catherine did a great job, finding spelling, punctuation and spacing errors. She also found some inconsistencies in the story which was very helpful. I would use her again.

Helping you edit the book you were meant to write, not the one you were told to. I love editing fiction, especially stories that defy norms.
