Your editor, not your enemy. I won’t hijack your work. My only goal is to help you bring to life the story you had in mind from the start.
In April 2014 I launched a freelance copy editing business called Free Range Editorial. Since then I have edited over sixty books, with clients across the United States and around the world. I work on fiction and nonfiction, short stories and novels, YA and adult. If you can write it, I can edit it.
Through my affiliation with an international ebook company, I have developed a specialty in transforming foreign language translations into American English. I welcome more of this type of work.
I prepared court opinions for official publication by editing for grammar, style, spelling and punctuation. I also fact checked and verified quotations and legal citations. I had an audited accuracy rate of over 99%.
