Doreen Kruger

Doreen Kruger – Editor

Competent, careful and approachable copyeditor with extensive experience editing a broad range of texts, specialising in the arts.

Overview

I am an experienced, friendly and dependable editor and proofreader.

I work with publishers, academics, charities, public-sector organisations and individuals, including first-time authors. I am happy to work with those who don't have English as a first language.

I am an Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, who has specialised in the arts, humanities and social science. But I have worked on, and am happy to consider, a wide range of texts - from the arcane to the mundane - from scholarly works to those aimed at general readers.

I can make your text clear, concise, coherent and consistent and enable you to meet your intended readership, while at the time same respecting your author's voice. I will follow your brief, listen to your concerns and deliver your project on time.

A couple of recent comments from satisfied clients:

'Thank you again and again for all of your special care, Doreen. It is deeply appreciated.' And from the Acknowledgements: 'Doreen['s] thoughtful consideration and attentiveness to detail has been of inestimable worth.'

CS (author) 2023

'I can't thank you enough for the careful attention you have given this manuscript, your many catches and inquiries making this a better book. ... Thank you for going the extra mile ... Your keen editorial eye saving me from many a gaff.'

Doreen was very supportive throughout. I had never used a proof reading service before and she taught me a great deal. I will be using her again.
