Overview
I have extensive experience in copyediting and proofreading academic, fiction, and non-fiction manuscripts, as well as visual reference books. I love hearing about what authors think about their work before I start working: it gives me a clear idea of what exactly I am required to do and their passion fuels me to give my 120% to the manuscript.
