David Dashiell – Editor

My name is Dave — I've been a full-time copyeditor and proofreader for six years, working with seven traditional publishing houses in that time and doing everything from comic books to gigantic histories. I have a reputation for my detail, effective communication, and ability to turn around projects well before the deadline.

I'm happy to copyedit or proofread. Both services catch all grammatical, spelling, typographical, citation, and stylistic errors, strengthening your writing by removing anything that trips up the reader. I go through every line, on either Microsoft Word (copyediting) or Adobe PDF (proofreading), and either fix errors in tracked changes, so you can see what I did and approve or not (copyediting) or leave comments about what to fix (proofreading). You get a clean, error-free book.

Endorsements:

He is accurate, detail-oriented, and especially skilled with citations and bibliographies.
