Lianne Biggar – Editor

Copy editor and proofreader with over a decade of experience, specializing in academic nonfiction.

Overview

Copy editor and proofreader of everything from academia (animal sciences, theology, film studies and more) to fiction (particularly romance and erotica) and marketing copy (websites, brochures, etc.).

My attention to detail is practically superhuman, and my love affair with English grammar means you can rest easy knowing I will worry about finding all those typos and misplaced commas--so you don't have to!

My goal is always to make your work the best that it can be, while preserving your unique voice and perspective.

I am always reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with.
