Vicki Stone – Editor

Professional proofreader with experience catching errors in nonfiction manuscripts.

Overview

I'm a professional proofreader with experience proofreading books and study guides. My clients refer to me as eagle eyes. Errors pop out at me as I read.

I'm comfortable working in Word and using the track changes feature. I utilize many tools, so please let me know if you prefer to receive your manuscript in another format. To start, I send you a short questionnaire, so I will have a better understanding of your grammar preferences.

I understand the need for error-free work. I typically proofread a manuscript of 100-200 pages in 48 hours. Not only that, but I enjoy working with published authors.

Books I've been privileged to proofread include Exhale Leader Guide, Shame Off You, and Worthy. I love a chance to read a good fiction novel. I favor mystery and like YA science fiction. Please send me a message. I would love to hear from you!
