Overview
I have eleven years' professional experience line and copy editing historical and academic nonfiction. I also have freelance experience with fiction and content editing. As a bookseller, I skew toward middle grade and young adult buying, and so I am familiar with those genres as well.
Please note my rates range from $40 to $70 depending on the work requested and the level of editing required.
