Work experience
Self-employed
I work with publishing companies and also directly with authors. For fiction works, I do whatever is necessary and whatever the author requests, from analyzing the plot and offering suggestions to simple correcting of spelling and grammar, trying always to respect the author’s voice. For nonfiction manuscripts, I check continuity, check facts online, and query the author as needed. I often work with authors whose first language is not English. For crafts books, I edit, sometimes do sketches to help authors prepare illustrations for their books, and expand text if it is needed. I have a strong art/crafts background. I also proofread for several major publishing companies.
