Andrea Marchiano – Editor

I draw from my decade-plus of editorial experience on every project. Currently, I work for a mental health publisher, managing the editorial calendar and jumping in to edit projects when needed. I previously served as editor, so my main focus was editing both mono and children's books. It may sound nerdy, but this is my favourite part of my job – and that's why I'm hoping to set up a side business where I edit as a freelancer!

I am a strong corrective copyeditor and proofreader. I can work in both British and American English (grew up in the US, but studied and work now in the UK). I am also very skilled at Americanis(z)ing text – I have done a lot of freelance work in this area, too!

The most important thing about my job is maintaining the author's voice. Editing makes a book stronger, but it shouldn't take away from the personality or person behind it! I would love to work on your project, streamlining it and perfecting the grammar, but keeping it very much your own.
