Evan Richards – Editor

Highly skilled editor with 10 years of experience. Writing is a collaborative process—let's create the best version of your work together!

Overview

I have over a decade of editing and writing experience, and I received in MA in English with a concentration in Writing & Publishing from DePaul University. I work with a variety of styles, including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and I have expert knowledge of AMA, AP, APA, Chicago, and MLA styles. I've copyedited medical textbooks, proofread historical novels, line edited longform fiction manuscripts, and reviewed poetry and short stories for literary journals including Eclectica Magazine, Another Chicago Magazine, and the Roosevelt University Golden Shovel Poetry Anthology. If you have a text that needs editing, chances are I've done it before!

I provide a range of services at corresponding rates. I can proofread or copyedit your finished work for typos, punctuation, and grammar errors. I can line edit your manuscript for style, clarity, and concision. I can provide large-scale developmental editing to provide feedback on structure, organization, narrative, theme, direction, and so on.

I work with writers at many different points in their careers; I'm always happy to discuss goals, process, and experience to figure out how we can best work together. I believe editing is a collaborative process, not a punitive one—let's create the best version of your work!

I had never used this service before nor really engaged with an editor who I didn't have a relationship prior so I was a little unsure what to expect. Evan did a great and thorough job, I felt he provide some keen insights into the work. He helped walk me through the process, which was very simple to use. I would definitely recommend his work and would reach out to him again in the future.
