Tia Ross – Editor

I am a senior copyeditor and proofreader with decades of experience working on fiction and nonfiction titles for major publishers, respected imprints, and accomplished independent authors. My work includes projects for HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Workman, Adams Media, and other established publishing houses, as well as award-recognized and bestselling authors.

My editorial focus is precision, clarity, and consistency at the manuscript level. I specialize in refining language, enforcing stylistic rigor, and ensuring that books are publication-ready without compromising the author’s voice. My process emphasizes disciplined copyediting and proofreading standards rather than developmental coaching or writing instruction.

I am known for my methodical approach. Each manuscript is supported by a custom style guide to ensure consistency across spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and usage. Edits are thorough, intentional, and grounded in professional publishing norms. The result is clean, confident prose that meets the expectations of traditional and high-quality independent publishing.

At this stage of my career, I am not actively accepting new projects through Reedsy. This profile is maintained as a professional listing and record of prior work. I take on a very limited number of editorial engagements each year through existing relationships and direct referral only.
