Louise Duckling – Editor

As a published author, I understand the time and effort required to complete a writing project. Based on my own publishing experience, I believe that the editorial process should be kind and collaborative. It should build your confidence and your self-belief as a writer.

With over 10 years of experience working with non-fiction authors, I provide a professional service with clear communication and timely delivery.

My copyediting service focuses on the detail to make sure your text is clear, consistent, correct, and complete. I check the overall structure of the text, as well as your vocabulary choices, grammar, and punctuation. Resolving any queries or inconsistencies, we will work together to make sure the meaning is clear for your intended readers, and that the text conforms to any publisher guidelines,

A complete and structured index can add value to your book and make your content more accessible for readers. I can help you deliver an index on time, and in the style required by the press.

My overall mission is to bring clarity and quality to all my projects, as well as making the process feel more joyful. I look forward to working with you!
