Jane Smith – Editor

I'm an editor, author and librarian with a special interest in history and children's books. With years of experience in schools and public libraries, I know what readers like. I have a Graduate Certificate in Editing and Publishing from University of Southern QLD. I've reviewed books for 'Magpies' magazine, I've written my own books in a range of genres, and I have experience in manuscript assessments, structural editing, copyediting and proofreading. My clients have included Big Sky Publishing, University of Southern QLD, and many indie authors.

I provide a range of editing services for fiction and non-fiction titles for adults and children. My work as an author makes me sensitive to an author's needs and point of view. If you want an editor who will work closely with you, paying attention to detail and listening to your concerns, I could be the one for you!

Here's a testimonial from a happy customer:

"Jane has a keen eye for detail and I was astonished at the subtle inconsistencies and ambiguities she identified within my manuscript - a novel I have worked on for five years and thought I knew back-to-front. Jane is a kind, honest and helpful editor, providing clever solutions and succinct explanations for her suggested revisions. Jane's skilled hand transformed my story into a better book and me into a better writer. "
