Claire J Furey – Editor

Copy-editor and proofreader with several years' experience of working with academic texts. I can help make your message even clearer!

Overview

Having gained an MLitt in Publishing Studies in the UK, I quickly got a job in a publishing company where I honed my skills in project management, copy-editing and proofreading for several years. I now work freelance, editing a variety of non-fiction text. I am very comfortable editing academic or other non-fiction work; no job is too small, or too big! I'm reliable, with excellent attention to detail and impeccable communication skills. I am also a professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).

With a background in physics, I am comfortable with science texts. I also have a lot of experience editing medical journals. Examples of content I have edited include medical journals, physics and chemistry articles, physics textbooks, business reports, gender equality reports and PhD theses.

Whether you need a copy-editor or a proofreader, we can work together to bring out the best in your writing and make sure that your message is clear and concise for the intended audience.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Freelance copy-editor and proofreader.

I project managed reports for medical journals through the production process before publication. Tasks included styling, copy-editing, collating and proofreading the reports; checking that completed XMLs met the necessary requirements; liaising with authors, typesetters and editorial boards; ensuring that the reports progressed through the production processes in a timely fashion; and fulfilling print-on-demand orders. For another client, I was responsible for finding peer reviewers for submissions to a journal, and for providing the client with a weekly update.
