Chelsea Wilson

Chelsea Wilson – Editor

10+ years' experience and an eclectic background from novels to high-level scientific journal articles and memoirs and biographies.

Overview

Pick a topic. I've worked on it. (Sort of.) I've worked in trade magazines (casino industry), education (K–12), high-level academic journals (people with PhDs writing about climate change and ocean currents—I do not have a PhD in physics or oceanography), tech, and fiction and nonfiction books.

I've inactive on Reedsy for a while because of work, but after a layoff, I'm back to offering freelancing services again!

On Reedsy, I offer copyediting and proofreading services, with some minor fact checking if you wish. I'd like to begin by having a brief conversation on what your expectations are for your work so we're on the same page (so to speak) on what you want and what I can offer.

We'll develop a schedule together with check-ins to confirm the work I'm doing matches your expectations. Deadlines are friends, not food, so one we come up with a schedule, my goal is always to meet or exceed the deadlines set, barring, of course, natural disasters or unexpected illness.

I look forward to helping you finesse your work into its final form!

I'm not qualified to provide fact checking or sensitivity readings on works about marginalized communities. Do contact me if your work falls under these categories, and we'll see if the copyediting services I provide are a match.
