Eric Hubler – Editor

AP-trained copy editor and reporter now specializing in editing and proofreading of long-form nonfiction and academic works.

Overview

After graduating from Brown University with a bachelor's in semiotics, I began my career as a copy editor and freelance writer in Tokyo and New York, then moved to Denver to cover health care and schools at The Denver Post. Later I earned a Master of Nonprofit Management degree at Regis University and worked in communications at The National MS Society and McREL International. In recent years I have focused on copyediting, proofreading and substantive editing of professional learning courses, journal articles, newsletters and nonfiction books.


Through Reedsy I've had the opportunity to support authors on a marvelous array of topics, from prison life to piano tuning. I am always happy to provide a brief sample edit so you can judge, risk-free, if you think we'll work well together.


I'm a member of ACES: The Society for Editing, Editors Canada and the Apostrophe Protection Society.


"As a published author, I’ve worked with several editors over the years and Eric is one of the best. He digs deep to understand content, has a great eye for ways to make any text better, and doesn’t let anything slip past him. He’s also a great writer himself, so he can lend a hand with a better turn of a phrase as needed. I’d recommend Eric to anyone in need of freelance writing or editing." — Bryan Goodwin, President & CEO, McREL International


"I wrote a 500-page history while quarantined with a working spouse and a two-year-old. I was in no mood to manage manuscript preparation on my own. Eric rid the MS of typos and formatting inconsistencies, even in difficult technical terminology. He made wording suggestions that respected my subject and style and returned everything ahead of schedule, shaving weeks if not months off the process.” — Dr. Christopher England, Lecturer, Loyola University Maryland

I am so grateful to Eric for his help in this process. This is my first book and I needed a lot of guidance, which he very generously gave. Eric is meticulous. Nothing gets by him, and the insight he has offered has been invaluable. Eric will be my go-to editor for any future projects.

I appreciated Eric's direct feedback on my work. He was able to see the areas that needed developing and point me in the right direction. Even after several readings Eric kept a cool eye on what needed to be done. The result is that the pieces I wrote have become a whole.

Eric really knows his craft and takes no prisoners. He will hunt down every reference, and won't let any ambiguous antecedents fly in your prose. Although a bit of a brutal process, a necessary one to turn out a truly legitimate book to the marketplace - and he is HELPING you! Eric will put in the time and tedious effort to make sure your writing is at its most dignified, and he will likely del...
