Overview

Your needs. Your timeline. Your voice. These are my priorities.

My experience in publishing spans a wide range of clientele and content. I have worked in full-time and freelance copy editing roles with organizations including Wiley-Blackwell, Taylor & Francis, Routledge, and many other publishing, marketing, and communications companies. I have an extensive skill set in working with various types of copy, including nonfiction books, academic research, and a range of marketing copy. My keen eye for detail and exacting standards allow me to partner with authors to deliver publication-ready material on the first pass.

With my services, you'll enjoy:

* Superior writing and editing skills combined with 15 years of experience copy editing and proofreading in a variety of industries

* In-depth knowledge of many publication styles, including Chicago, APA, AP, and AMA, as well as industry- and company-specific style guides

* A strong background in editing academic work, particularly STEM, medical, and social science titles with international readership

* Clear and articulate communication with flexible availability and high responsiveness to your needs

* Assurance that I'll deliver high-quality copy with a focus on maintaining your voice

* Proficiency in editing both American and British English

* Confidence that your work will receive the editorial treatment it deserves

I love working as a copy editor. For me, it's a way to learn all the time while using my skills to ferret out any inconsistencies or errors. Your content---whether books, academic papers, or other copy---is a reflection of you, and together we'll ensure that only the most polished writing reaches your readers.

If you want to perfect your content for publication, you are in the right place.

REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

"For over a decade, Lindsay has provided excellent copyediting services to the Taylor & Francis Journals account. She is versed in the style conventions embraced by various academic disciplines, including the behavioral and medical sciences. The work she completes—always in a timely fashion—shows the meticulous attention of an expert copyeditor. Lindsay, moreover, has proven to be flexible, amenable to, on occasions, last minute changes of assignment. I recommend her services highly."

---Head of Copyediting, Taylor & Francis Group

"Lindsay is everything I would want in a proofreader/copy editor: She’s focused, intelligent, intuitive, and meticulous. She’s so good that I don’t feel the need to check her work – and that’s a huge compliment coming from a former copy editor and obsessive editor. In addition to the right skills, Lindsay brings a great attitude to every job: She’s eager and happy to work. She always delivers when promised and never disappoints. If I didn’t like her so much, I would keep all this my little secret to ensure her availability when we need her."

Lindsay did an excellent job editing my 50,000+ word non-fiction book! Her thorough edits and comments really brought my manuscript to a polished, professional level while still letting my voice shine through. Her price was very reasonable and I feel I got an excellent value. Her communication throughout the entire project was fast, clear, and responsive. Lindsay empowered me to make decisions ...
