Overview
I work at Penguin Random House in New York and freelance on the side. If your project has been through a round of editing (or two) and the plot, character development, and pacing are all hammered out, then I can help you smooth everything out. Even if you think you've got a good eye (and you might!), copyediting can make the difference between a pleasurable read and a frustrating one. Think of it as a final polish to avoid the distracting "wince factor."
My services include copyediting (truly the most important post-editing stage), proofreading, cold reading, and e-book quality control. I generally follow the Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.
Please note I will most likely not be able to turn a project around in less than two weeks. Otherwise, please feel free to get in touch with the details of your project.
