Lindsay Kaubi – Editor

Non-fiction copy-editor and proofreader with more than 15 years' experience. Specialities include: crafts, art, cookery, children's.

Overview

Hi, I’m an editor and proofreader with more than 15 years’ experience working both in-house and as a freelancer. I’m a professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and proofreaders and I’m accustomed to working on jobs both big and small, from miscellaneous editorial tasks, proofreading and copy-editing to editorial project management.

I’ve worked on a whole range of subjects over the years, so I’m confident editing most books aimed at a general readership but my specialities are illustrated non-fiction subjects, such as practical art and crafts guides, art history, reference, cookery and children’s non-fiction and activity books.


• I can edit in US or UK English and can also provide Anglicisation/Americanisation services.

• I am experienced working in Word and InDesign and proofreading in Acrobat.

• Recent clients include: Search Press, Hardie Grant, White Lion Publishing, Quarto Publishing, Bright Press,

David & Charles, Penguin Random House, and Hawthorn Press.

•Non-publishing clients include Mytton Williams and Charlie Smith Design for whom I've proofread design

presentations, prospectuses and annual reports.


If you have any questions, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you if you have a project I might be able to help with.

Lindsay was very pleasant to deal with. Her attention to detail was commendable and the way in which she listed the amendments was very easy to follow and implement, without missing anything.
