Janice Brown – Editor

I execute a word-by-word, character-by-character verification of your project. I make sure all pages are complete and free of spelling, grammar, and typographical errors. I check style and design elements, running heads, chapter numbers, and make sure styling is consistent throughout your project. I verify part titles and chapter heads for correct folio, placement, spelling, and punctuation. These are steps necessary to ensure the excellence of your project. I meet all deadlines. I am experienced with the Chicago Manual of Style as well as author style sheets and publishing house style guides.

I am a professional proofreader with 26 years of experience with major publishing companies. Clients include Penguin Random House (Berkley Books, Jove, Berkley Prime Crime, Ace), Hachette Book Group, and Kevin Anderson & Associates. I am able to meet tight deadlines, and I am experienced following The Chicago Manual of Style, author style sheets, and publishing house style guides. I am proficient in electronic proofing using Microsoft Word as well as Adobe Acrobat, and work with standard or custom editing marks, per client preference. I have worked across various genres, including fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, textbooks, and others.
