Sean Strain – Editor

I have been working in print and digital publishing for a decade. In my professional life, I served as the Vice President of Entrepreneur Press, a business nonfiction publisher for five years. But it was long before that that my love for written word began.

As a proofreader, I am meticulous and calculated, reviewing material with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail. Thanks to my background in traditional publishing, I know what separates a good manuscript from a great one. I know what agents, publishers, and readers are looking for, and I bring that knowledge to every project I take on. Whether you're self-publishing your first book or refining a manuscript for a traditional submission, I can help you deliver a professional final version of your book you can be confident in. But as an editor, I help guide authors toward a polished manuscript that matches their vision and aspirations. The author's voice is the single most important piece and life force of your book, and preserving it during the process is my top priority.

When you work with me, you can expect consistency. I am dependable and can be relied on to accurately meet timelines provided. Each of my delivered works come with a personalized style guide and a written brief to explain any items of note that I found throughout the work. I work with both pre-composition (before design) and post-composition (after design) proofreads.

When you choose to work with me as a proofreader, you are getting more than just editing, you gain access to a publishing partner who is committed to your success.

Confident publishing!
