Lynn Brown – Editor

Experienced UK-based non-fiction editor/proofreader, specialising in management/organisation, business, marketing, psychology, biographies.

Overview

Looking for a highly experienced, professional copy-editor or proofreader to help you prepare your text for publication? Let me deal with the detail!

Working mainly in British/UK English as either copy-editor or proofreader on 1,500+ projects to date, I’ve already helped a huge variety of clients bring clarity to their content, iron out any wrinkles and connect effectively with their readers. I can help you, too.

My name’s Lynn and I’m a freelance copy-editor and proofreader working remotely in the UK and EU. I’m an Advanced Professional Member of the UK’s Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), which means you can trust that I have the proven skills and expertise needed to help you produce content that’s the best it can be – for you and your readers.

I understand that you’re looking for someone you can rely on, who recognises the importance of clarity and accuracy when it comes to working with your words and getting your message across to your chosen audience – and who will work with you to achieve just that ... without squishing the life out of your authorial voice!

Initially as an in-house editor/editorial project manager and now as a freelancer of 30+ years' standing working with major publishers, I have a wealth of experience in both copy-editing and proofreading (with fact-checking expertise and a sprinkling of copywriting thrown in – and a GSOH to boot!).

In addition to my work on the usual text files and PDFs, I am experienced in online collaborative working (most often via Inkling Habitat), and fully conversant with the content management systems and templates of several major publishers.

I’m available for both one-off and ongoing, long-term assignments, such as monthly or quarterly publications, so why not get in touch to discuss your project? I look forward to hearing from you.
