Copy editor and proofreader for books on fitness and health, from training to memoir. I want to help your book be the best it can be.
In addition to my day job as a managing editor for an academic journal, I do freelance copy editing and proofreading, mostly on books about health and fitness. I've also edited memoirs and histories, and I've done academic editing and recipe editing.
I am proficient at using and creating project-specific style guides and with the Chicago Manual of Style. I also know AP and APA styles. I'm very good with charts, graphs, illustrations, maps, and display copy.
My queries are diplomatic and tactful, and I'm always ready to explain a change!
I manage deadlines for an academic theology journal, making sure everything goes to press on time. I also create marketing materials for the publisher and run the journal's social media account. I proofread the entire issue and work with editors and writers on copyedits and formatting.
