Tove Innis

Tove Innis – Editor

Meticulous proofreader and copyeditor who loves working with marginalized creators. Sliding-scale rates. Queer, neurodivergent, disabled.

Overview

My name rhymes with "nova". I'm a lifelong word nerd and have been a creative services freelancer for over ten years. I've collaborated remotely on projects of all sizes as an editor, proofreader, access worker (transcriptionist and captioner), and project manager.


As a disabled and neurodivergent person, I'm super invested in information accessibility and accessible collaboration methods. I have a no-questions-asked sliding scale pricing policy because I understand that editing services are prohibitively expensive for most creatives, especially marginalized people, and I believe that cost shouldn't get in the way of a valuable working relationship.


My ideal client is a linguistic descriptivist who works on crip time and feels kind of meh about DRM, but as you can see from my portfolio, I also do a lot of technical editing. I'm extremely good at proofreading because I can hyperfocus on grammar, mechanics, and formatting like no one's business.

I loved working with Tove. Professional, prompt with revisions and communicated any suggested changes clearly, which made the editing process smooth and efficient, dedication to the project, went above and beyond, providing not only corrections but also thoughtful suggestions that improved the overall quality of the work.

Thank you, Polina! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on your textbook, which is well worth reading for anyone interested in recent Russian history and culture. I can't wait to recommend ...

Tove did an amazing job editing my manuscript. The process of working with them was wonderful, they always answered any questions I had about anything, and were always super helpful! The transformation my manuscript went through from the day I submitted it, to the day it was finished, was absolutely wonderful and incredibly fulfilling to see. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and I am sup...
