Deadline-driven copy editor with a demonstrated history in team communication and working independently.
I have experience editing all genres of fiction and history while being proficient in Microsoft Word Review editing (with comments). I excel in finding grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, addressing tone and style deviations, confusing transitions and syntax, misused words, and evaluating the book's overall flow. I will always focus on quality work, communication, and meeting deadlines.
In 2018 I began a book reviewing website where I reviewed every novel I could get my hands on. Eventually, I received ARCs directly from authors and publishing houses to review and share on social media. Renowned authors like Tanya Anne Crosby feature my reviews on their websites and Amazon pages (Whiskey & Wit Book Reviews).
As I began working more closely with authors, I felt comfortable branching away from book reviews into copy editing. I have been working for a publishing house as a freelance editor and enjoy the camaraderie of sharing ideas with other editors and authors.
Copy editing and proofreading books to be published and books that have been published by the author’s previous house.
