David Twiddy – Editor

I am a freelance copy editor and proofreader with more than seven years’ experience editing long and short-form content for a range of publishers, including Andrews McMeel Universal. I have edited literary novels, self-help books, poetry collections and peer-reviewed academic articles (including one that won an award for medical publications). My experience is informed by more than 20 years in daily newspaper and wire service journalism, which means I’m a diligent researcher who can help make sure the car your character drives in 1934 was actually in production and came in candy red. I can also correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and word usage while preserving your author voice.

"I hired David to copyedit a historical novel for my company. David had extensive background in the field of journalism, so I knew he’d be perfect for the job, which required him to go above and beyond by researching the historical facts and assertions written throughout the book. The author, editor, and I were all pleased with his work, as it was evident that he took a lot of time, care, and attention to detail with the research and the editing itself." -- Elizabeth Garcia
