Tia Ross – Editor

Precision-driven copyeditor/proofreader: polishing prose for HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Berkeley Lab, and dynamic indie authors

Overview

As a dedicated copyeditor and proofreader specializing in both fiction and nonfiction, my enthusiasm for the craft is boundless, and I'm eager to collaborate with you!


My editing journey is about bringing your words to life. I’ve worked with big names and publishers, earning recognition from Writer's Digest as a top book doctor. My goal is to help you achieve publishing success.


My approach emphasizes detail and clarity. I meticulously review your manuscript twice. Initially, I create a style guide to ensure consistency throughout. Then, I dive deeper, fine-tuning and polishing to ensure your manuscript shines. Beyond just making edits, I provide insights and tips to enhance your writing skills.


After we're done, I'm here to support you, ready to answer questions and share resources to aid your publishing journey. To sweeten the deal, I offer free editorial services for your book's extra content, such as the author bio and back cover synopsis. Let's make your story not just good but unforgettable.
